Requested move 18 October 2017[edit]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: pages moved. The capitalisation issue has received little comment, and clearly no consensus, but the consensus that the proposed moves both improve Wikipedia is clear. Andrewa (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lid → Lid (disambiguation)
Lid (container) → Lid

– The top wikt definition of "lid" is "The top or cover of a container". If Lid (container) is considered a WP:broad-concept article about the primary topic then the proposed moves should be made. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:45, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support per long term significance and common usage. Like Bell or Apple, the ordinary object is the primary topic for the name. — Amakuru (talk) 11:07, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support it's the clear primary topic._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:47, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, precisely per nom. bd2412 T 17:29, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but change "Lid (disam)" to "LID", per nom. But, the all-caps "LID" being the page title of "Lid (disambiguation)" would be more accurate, helpful, and in-line with WP's policies. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:14, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above and rename per Paintspot. Most of the entries at the DAB are acronyms which are typically capitalized. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 20:24, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support as proposed per nom; I oppose moving the disambiguation page to LID per WP:DABNAME: "A word is preferred to an abbreviation, for example Arm (disambiguation) over ARM". Steel1943 (talk) 21:41, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator I oppose a move to LID for the same reason. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
