The result of the move request was: page not moved. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:32, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Treximet → Sumatriptan/naproxen sodium – Treximet is the trade name of the drug and should redirect to the generic name, Sumatriptan/naproxen sodium, which is a combination of two drugs. The Treximet redirected page should be added to Category:Redirects_from_trade_names. – Mwalters5 (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slashes create problems in article naming: WP:NCTR. Also, WP:SLASH. Dekimasuよ! 19:37, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose MOS:SLASH, WP:SUBPAGE, WP:AT -- slashes cause problems, look like subpages, cause subpage problems on associated talk pages, and should be avoided when possible; as well, we don't generally use couplet titles, there should only be one name in the title. This is not a subpage of Sumatriptan which is not Treximet , nor should it appear a as an either-or choice between Sumatriptan and naproxen sodium, another different article. At most it should use a dash such as Sumatriptan—naproxen sodium or not use a special character at all sumatriptan and naproxen sodium -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 07:11, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An en-dash though, not an em-dash. Dekimasuよ! 21:51, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 01 December 2014

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed. bd2412 T 17:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Treximet → Sumatriptan/naproxen sodium – Treximet is the trade name of the drug and should redirect to the generic name, Sumatriptan/naproxen sodium, since it is a combination drug. When I previously requested the move Nov 19, someone brought up the issue of the forward slash might cause problems. But if you search for "combination drug" on Wikipedia, the forward slash is the naming convention for combination drugs. For example: Latanoprost/timolol, Niacin/simvastatin and Aspirin/paracetamol/caffeine. I suppose the forward slash creates a subpage or subdirectory which is alright. – Mwalters5 (talk) 20:57, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bad guess, see my support vote below. Andrewa (talk) 16:03, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy procedural close nomination failed last week, overly fast renomination speed. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:34, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose MOS:SLASH,WP:SUBPAGE per has last time. We should move the other drugs articles to another title (such as using "and" as the connector instead of a slash), since "/" is usually used for an either/or combination that is a choice between the two in normal grammar, and not as an "and". -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:34, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - (Reply to 67.70.35.44) For a drug, a forward slash is understood to mean a combination. If you go to Treximet.com website, the logo in the top left shows Treximet with "sumatriptan/naproxen sodium" under it.
- For If you type in "combination drug" into Wikipedia's search box an option to search for "containing...combination drug" is at the bottom of the drop-down list. The search results show that the forward slash is the naming convention on about 100 combination drugs. Here is quick link for the "containing...combination drug" search on Wikipedia Special:Search?search=combination+drug&fulltext=Search. There is a Wikipedia category, Category:Combination_drugs, which shows about 100 examples of the forward slash. Also, it is the convention on Wikipedia to redirect from the trade name of the drug to the chemical name. There is a category for this called Category:Redirects from trade names for drugs which lists over 17,000 pages. So Treximet, a trade name, should be moved to its chemical name, Sumatriptan/naproxen sodium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwalters5 (talk • contribs) 11:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've made it as far as Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology/Style guide#Standard combination drugs (Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles#Drugs, medications and devices has a link to this page), which asks for a slash in the case of combination drugs. Upon further examination of Wikipedia:Subpages#Slashes in article titles, I am willing to accept that this is probably an accepted use for a slash in an article title. Therefore, I'll support the request this time around. Dekimasuよ! 07:41, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually looking for a reason to initiate a multimove request to have all of the titles in the category switched to en-dashes, but I was persuaded by what I found at the target pages. Hopefully having this go through will be a simple solution in this case. Dekimasuよ! 19:57, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Well done Dekimasu finding the relevant guidelines, this is sufficient new evidence to justify the quick renomination, and a smallish trout to nom both for renominating without it and for some misleading speculation in this nomination, but we seem to have resolved the issue now.

TITLESLASH

I have created a shortcut at WP:TITLESLASH to make that guideline more accessible.

If the above RM is successful, there is a little more follow-up work to do, linking to that guideline from Category:Combination drugs would probably be helpful for a start, and there are some other possible tweaks. But wait until the current RM closes before assuming its outcome. Just creating the shortcut makes no such assumption. Andrewa (talk) 16:32, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
