The result of the move request was: Consensus to move all the listed articles except the Billboard chart titles. Discussion of the Billboard chart titles is inconclusive at this time. (non-admin closure)Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 10:54, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


– Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Music#Usage - "The word "hip hop" is, like most music genres, not capitalized; it is also not hyphenated." The editor whose username is Z0 06:30, 11 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 14:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm used to calling it hip-hop but if the main article has been moved, pretty reasonable to move these too. I guess this can be dealt with after this RM but Acid (hip-hop) should perhaps be moved to Acid (hip hop group) because the current title sounds more like a genre... —innotata 00:09, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support except for the Billboard chart lists. They call it hip-hop, we shouldn't deviate from that. feminist (talk) 08:15, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Feminist, True but as "hip hop" in the Billboard articles refers to the genre itself and not the name of a Billboard chart, shouldn't we follow Wikipedia's standard formatting rather than what is used by the publication? The chart name is "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" but it's not included in the article titles, thus indicates the titling of these articles currently do not conform to Billboard's style since they are in the sentence case. Why should we ignore the MoS in favor of the Billboard style? The editor whose username is Z0 11:32, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I've changed Acid (hip hop) to Acid (hip hop group) in the request above. The editor whose username is Z0 11:35, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment One option for the Billboard lists is to rename them to "List of number-one R&B and hip hop songs of 2018 (U.S.), as I believe this use of the slash was just following the name of the chart. We can also try to replicate what an editor has been doing with the lists of Billboard country number ones and using the name of the chart for the indicated year (List of [name of chart] number ones of [year]; e.g. "List of Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums number ones of 2013", "List of Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs number ones of 2008"). Plus I'm not sure if each list needs the main chart (R&B/Hip-Hop Songs) AND the secondary charts (R&B Songs, Rap Songs, Airplay), but that's for a different discussion.

  • Support. Better fits the guideline.--Cúchullain t/c 14:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
