Talk:The New York Times Strands: Difference between revisions

*'''Support''' Coding strand has 1,518 views, Strand swamp has 83 compared with only 46[[https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=Strand_swamp|Coding_strand|Strands]] for the video game. While "Strands" may not be common for these uses it seems unlikely at least in terms of long-term significance that the video game is primary and there is also a hamlet in Cumbria.

*:Views in the past twenty days seems like a poor metric to use when talking about an article created yesterday. [[User:DecafPotato|DecafPotato]] ([[User talk:DecafPotato|talk]]) 21:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

*'''Support'''': From [[WP:DIFFPLURAL]]: Because readers and editors are used to seeing titles at the singular form, and can be expected to search for them/link to them in the singular form, the intentional use of a plural form by a reader or editor can be evidence that a separate primary topic exists at the plural form. (And strands is not the primary topic). The article is more of a game since there are many other singular that can be plural. Note: I also do not support the "video game". It should be "[[Word game]]". Move to ''[[Strands (word game)]].'' <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]]</span><sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 20:44, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' (oppose and propose alternative for the sake of consistency): In my view, the article should be named "''The New York Times'' Strands" per [[The New York Times Crossword|''The New York Times'' Crossword]], [[The New York Times Spelling Bee|''The New York Times'' Spelling Bee]], and [[The New York Times Connections|''The New York Times'' Connections]] (see related discussion [[Talk:The_New_York_Times_Connections#Disambiguator_feels_wrong|here]]). [NB: If we want "Word game" too, I prefer to see this information in the short description rather than in the title (and do not support "video game" either).] Cheers, [[User:Cl3phact0|Cl3phact0]] ([[User talk:Cl3phact0|talk]]) 18:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
