Requested move 21 October 2016

[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: Closing to move to B-train. I've been involved only in a clarification of the page B train and have otherwise not been involved in the discussion. A move to "B-train" does have rough consensus, per the explicit oppose !vote and a subsequent comment supporting simply lowercasing the "T" in train, and the fact that the nominator mentioend that this is not a discussion about the hyphen, and that the original intent implied by the post was to lowercase the "T" per MOS. Anyone with questions, please ping. Thanks (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk) 23:20, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Andy W. (talk) 04:59, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the disambiguation page so it links to B-Train instead of road train. --Scott Davis Talk 05:45, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The hyphen is important to clarify that this is a truck, not a train. I did several Google searches for heavy transport infrastructure in my state, looking to see what kinds of trucks it specified. I got a mixture of B-Double and B-double from government sources, sometimes in the same document (and not as titles), as well as a few B Double with context. They are never B-trains in Australia. A road train has at least two full trailers joined by a dolly. B-doubles and B-triples display signs at the back "LONG VEHICLE". Road trains display "ROAD TRAIN", even though a B-triple is only 1.5m shorter than a double road train. --Scott Davis Talk 05:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not a discussion of whether or not to use a hyphen! The technical request is to write the lemma without capitalization, as required by our MOS. According to WP:ENGVAR, both the spelling with and without hyphen is correct. We can move the article to either spelling as long as the other is mentioned at the beginning of the article. --Espoo (talk) 11:49, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
