Requested move 15 November 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: The consensus for FASTER (NZX) is not moved. Though WP:NATURAL disambiguation is generally preferable, the policy text discourages the usage of "obscure" names strictly on the basis of naturalness, and the consensus in this discussion is that "Fully Automated Screen Trading and Electronic Registration" is too little-used to be an appropriate title. The proposed title was also described by one participant as a "long mouthful", indicating it would be dispreferred under WP:CONCISE.

For FASTER (software), however, I find no consensus. Similar arguments were raised about natural disambiguation vs. obscurity of the proposed terminology; however, the nominator also noted that the current title of "FASTER (software)" is insufficiently disambiguated, and this assertion was not contested. Because of this, I don't feel that the balance of arguments constitute a consensus for keeping FASTER (software) at its current title.

– WP:NATURALDIS; FASTER (software) as currently worded is ambiguous also with this article since it also describes software * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:51, 15 November 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 10:25, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose move of FASTER (NZX) to Fully Automated Screen Trading and Electronic Registration. 'FASTER' is by far the more commonly known name; it was rarely called by the long name. However, I don't think the topic is notable, plus the article is poorly referenced and out of date, so I propose it be trimmed down and merged into NZX. I have no knowledge of the other topic and no opinion on that one. Nurg (talk) 10:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support it probably makes sense per MOS:ACROTITLE but "First Automated Teleprocessing Environment Reponder" only has around 8 Google hits which is a strong indication its not common usage or perhaps just not notable. "Fully Automated Screen Trading and Electronic Registration" only gets around 389 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crouch, Swale (talk • contribs) 19:03, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Nurg. The present title is the common name, albeit that it needs disambiguation, and is preferable to the long mouthful suggested. — Amakuru (talk) 21:48, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
