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: moved. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:34, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... (also each page from 1953 to 2014) ...

– Per the outcome of Talk:31st Producers Guild of America Awards#Requested move 14 January 2020, as well as consistency with other similar major awards like 92nd Academy Awards, 77th Golden Globe Awards, 72nd Directors Guild of America Awards, and 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards. As I stated at the PGA move request, having a year in the article title causes unnecessary confusion about whether it refers to the year in film or when the ceremony is held- the upcoming ceremony is called the "2019" awards on Wikipedia, while they're called the "2020" awards on the official Writers Guild website.

Support per nom's arguments and existing precedent. Better to avoid the year, which can be ambiguous in these cases. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 23:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per detailed nomination and Erik. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:23, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support as standard style and ease of understanding going forward. Kingsif (talk) 01:01, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 09:23, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above - yeah this is standard 24.193.164.209 (talk) 03:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[edit]

I in no way disagree with the results, and I think the move was good overall. However, I'm not sure why the requested move discussion was held here rather than the parent talk page. This is what I get for going on Wiki-break though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
