Talk:Brief Candle in the Dark

"... continues his autobiography until present."
The sentence containing that phrase had already been false for a half year when contributed in November, as he's not dead yet, unless he lied. We'd best take him at his word: "I'll end where I began, on my seventieth birthday,...", per page 437 of the topic work. --Jerzy•t 16:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Careless of me, make that read "over 4 years", and refer to the idea the sentence expresses, not the barely month-old sentence. --Jerzy•t 17:29, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

 * WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 09:50, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Support I see no issue with the requested move, and it abides by the given guideline. --  Alex TW 03:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose no, better with the full title. More helpful, clearer. And more in line with review references to a recent book. In ictu oculi (talk • contribs) 07:34, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - guideline cited was based on a flawed assumption. Books and other media items are usually referred to the first time by the full long name and then for brevity, just continue using the short version. --Gonnym (talk) 21:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
