 * B-Train →  — Needs to be moved over a redirect. B-Double is the far more common term, easily verified using Google or similar; note many of the B-Train hits on Google are not related to our article's topic. —
 * Not uncontroversial, should probably be discussed first. Parsecboy (talk) 20:59, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't feel anyone could reasonably disagree with the move (per the above instructions), so I listed it here. It's interesting that you say it's controversial though. I presume you don't personally feel it's controversial (though correct me if I'm wrong), you just feel it isn't as simple as a spelling error or some such. With that in mind, if the redirect didn't exist, I would have been bold and made the move. Is your above comment implying that would be wrong in some way? Ben (talk) 21:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The article says that "Although known as a B-Train in many countries, this particular twin trailer combination is also known by the term Interlink in Southern Africa and as a B-Double in Australia.". Is this just a matter of the variant of English used? Also, I think the correct capitalization of the title would be either B-train or B-double, since it's a common noun. See B-double wiktionary entry (which, by the way, specifies that the word is used in Australia only) and the capitalization guideline. Jafeluv (talk) 09:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into road train where 80-90% of this information is already found. Mangoe (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Requested move 21 October 2016

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)

B-Train → B train – mos and https://www.shipnorthamerica.com/htmfiles/glossary/gloss_truck_btrain.html – Espoo (talk) 21:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Andy W. ( talk ) 04:59, 21 October 2016 (UTC)


 * The current proposed target redirects to B Train. Anything to do about this dab page? — Andy W. ( talk ) 22:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * this topic is not listed on the disambiguation page. As the disambiguation page exists at the base name, it suggests this isn't the primary topic, so this should move to B train (trucking) and the current name should point to the disambiguation page -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 04:18, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I fixed the disambiguation page so it links to B-Train instead of road train. --Scott Davis Talk 05:45, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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)


 * Support B-train, but not the dropping of hyphen, which seems to be always used. Dicklyon (talk) 23:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
