EU leaflet

(

)

Leaflet front cover

... that, in 2016, the British public were warned in a leaflet (front cover pictured) that Brexit would increase the cost of living and lead to a decade or more of uncertainty? Source: "[The leaflet] warned that leaving would increase the cost of living, because a falling pound would make imports more expensive." (Bloomberg) and "[The leaflet] includes sections on the economy, immigration control and overseas travel, and warns that 'a vote to leave could mean a decade or more of uncertainty'." (The Guardian)

- Comment: I recognise that I might be ignoring one or two rules with this hook, so if the community decides that you'd prefer a different hook or no hook at all, then I'll respect that. This could be a good one to save for 31 January. Thanks.

Overall: All points check out and image is licensed. My only doubt is about whether the page name complies with policy at Wikipedia:Article titles. The sources relied on do not call the publication EU leaflet, although some say “pro-EU leaflet” as a description. I wonder if Why the Government believes that voting to remain in the European Union is the best decision for the UK would be more correct? The sources do not call it that, either, but it is at least the title of the leaflet. I can only suggest we leave it as it is, unless someone can resolve this problem.

Thanks a lot for the review, Moonraker! I went with that particular title simply because it seems like the common name to me: a search for "EU leaflet" on Google News returns 344 results, whereas "Brexit leaflet" returns just 68 results and "Why the Government believes that voting to remain in the European Union is the best decision for the UK" returns only four. But I'm more than willing to be convinced on an alternative. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

I have found a solution, A Thousand Doors, I searched and found that most of the hits for “EU leaflet” were in fact for “pro-EU leaflet” or “Pro-EU leaflet”, so I have moved the page to that title. This does not resolve whether we now have the common name in reliable sources, and it still seems odd, but there is a better case for it. Moonraker (talk) 01:00, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

That title works for me. Thanks again, Moonraker! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 12:19, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
