Nicholas Stix

[edit]

I don't think we should give Stix's opinion much weight (if any weight at all) given that Stix is an open white nationalist best known for his work with the National Policy Institute. Stonemason89 (talk) 23:26, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how that should necessarily make his views less notable. His article appears to have been published before that organisation was set up. Some identification on him may be appropriate though. Christopher Connor (talk) 23:59, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Color of Crime (1998 book)The Color of Crime (book) – Books aren't normally disambiguated by year of publication, and the other item being disambiguated (New_Century_Foundation#The_Color_of_Crime) probably isn't a "book". –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not so convinced. If the other The Color of Crime was a movie or an album, I think you'd be right, but it's a publication by Jared Taylor described (in the article) as a monograph and (when I googled it) as a booklet. I think many people might colloquially call such a thing a "book" -- especially if they are looking it up on Wikipedia and don't yet know that it's short. When two books need to be disambiguated from each other (as is the case here), I think the options for further disambiguation are a year, an author last name, or a genre. Genre is the same for both, and I see no reason to prefer author to year. So, I think it works as-is. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 02:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The article about The Color of Crime_(1998 book) also includes coverage of the second edition published in 2008. Disambiguation by date would appear to be overly precise. While there are two publications called The Color of Crime, the one by the New Century Foundation is described as a monograph and the only reason for these titles are now being disambiguated is that a redirect has been created to the section about the monograph. That disambiguation is by the publishing organisation, not author. The article about the book might also benefit from having a hatnote to the other disambiguated articles, to avoid confusion. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 05:48, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. Closed per consensus not to move with reasons if WP:CONCISE, and WP:SUBTITLE. The two supports (including the nominator) were bent on WP:NATURAL and WP:SUBTITLE while the three opposing !votes opposes the long length and NATURAL when it doesn't go well with WP:CONCISE.
