Requested move 8 August 2024

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 11:56, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Shadow of the Past → A Shadow of the Past (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) – This move was suggested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth#The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episodes based on consistency with the other episode articles for this series. I was initially hesitant as I felt that was not a good reason and there was no technical need for the added disambiguation, but I have come to see the value here. There are currently three very similarly named articles, this one as well as Shadow of the Past and The Shadow of the Past. I am starting a discussion in case others have thoughts on the overall approach here, but either way if we are going to move towards a disambiguation page or something similar then I think moving this article makes a lot of sense. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This is not an ambiguous title, so adding unnecessary parenthetical disambiguation is not consistent with the WP:AT policy. Potential confusion among the three similar titles can be dealt with by hatnotes, or by creating Shadow of the Past (disambiguation), but neither option would result in a move of this page.--Trystan (talk) 14:47, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per disambiguation guidelines and the !vote above. For users seeking the subjects with different but similar titles, the hatnote provides one click navigation.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think we need to change the title. It's pretty obvious what the article is about. Waqar💬 17:10, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
