A little grammar
Somebody put that Erika-chan gratuated on October 25, 2009. This hasn't happened yet, so I changed it to graduate. 71.237.91.217 (talk) 21:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

°C-ute → C-ute — Per MOS:TM point 6, the article should be titled as C-ute and not °C-ute. MS  (Talk | Contributions)  22:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Support. Fully agree with Ucucha.--Labattblueboy (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. WP:MOSTM discourages the use of "cute" symbols for decorative purposes in place of regular letters. --DAJF (talk) 14:37, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

C-ute → °C-ute — The first symbol of the name of the group is ℃ and not C (see the Japanese article). The English article was moved to C-ute without consulting any of its contributors. All non-English articles are named either ℃-ute or °C-ute —Moscowconnection (talk) 08:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments:
 * 1) The article was moved just three days ago following the prescribed week of discussion and consensus-forming on this very page. Any contributors or other editors watching this page therefore had plenty of time to make their opinions known in the discussion.
 * 2) As mentioned in the discussion above, WP:MOSTM is pretty clear-cut on avoiding decorative characters in article names.
 * 3) English Wikipedia follows its own set of clearly set out guidelines (e.g. WP:MOSTM), and is not influenced by guidelines or conventions that happen to be used on other language projects. --DAJF (talk) 11:27, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. You say in your rationale that the first symbol of the name of the group is ℃. Why is it that your proposed name starts with ° and not ℃, then? Jafeluv (talk) 19:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The name of the group was intentionally started with a special character, a degree Celsius symbol. Just look at the Japanese article - it is not latin "C". And as you can see, the English article had been at "℃-ute" for 2 years since 2008 and it was unopposed by editors (people who actually know about the group). But you need to have East Asian language support installed to see "℃" in Windows so "°C-ute" is how you write it in English. So, the first symbol in English is "°", I don't see any harm in it.--Moscowconnection (talk) 22:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The removal of the symbol complies with MOS:TM. Just because no one ever thought about moving the page from its former title doesn't mean that it was acceptable. MS   (Talk | Contributions)  23:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * But it has been already moved from C-ute to °C-ute in 2006.: "21:47, 5 December 2006 Shiori moved C-ute to °C-ute ‎ (Moving to real name; nothing links to C-ute, many to new location)" This only means that there are people who oppose the move to C-ute--Moscowconnection (talk) 00:27, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of that past move to the real name, °C-ute is not an acceptable title for the article. And one person in the past opposing the title means nothing in the present. If there were people that opposed the moved why didn't they participate in the original request? MS   (Talk | Contributions)  00:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's obvious - because they weren't there. :) Articles like that are edited by occasional contributors, j-pop fans. I didn't have °C-ute in my watchlist either and I didn't notice that move request.--Moscowconnection (talk) 00:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


 * P.S. Actually, you can even argue that the real Japanese name of the group is キュート (Kyuto). And the whole "℃-ute" is just a result of cute formatting of either Kyuto or Cute. But I better not go there. :) It's just to note that a simple removal of "°" is wrong. It might make the name look better to you, it definitely makes it 1000 times easier to type on an English keyboard but its incorrect.--Moscowconnection (talk) 22:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The removal of the degree symbol is not wrong see MOS:TM. MS   (Talk | Contributions)  23:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose Why is this even being discussed? We just closed the RM on this one a couple days ago. Revisiting RMs so quickly after they close sets a bad residence.--Labattblueboy (talk) 20:27, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per my original reasons above. MS   (Talk | Contributions)  23:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:MOSTM. —   AjaxSmack   03:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per my comments above and last week's RM consensus based on WP:MOSTM. --DAJF (talk) 03:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Procedural speedy close as this is excessive renomination speed, to reverse previous consensus. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Closed. Nothing has been put forward that suggests we got the wrong result last week.

Singles/Albums section changes?
For the singles, I think someone should put a link to new pages for each of C-ute's 12th-15th singles, like how it was done with all their previous ones. Also, "Chou WONDERFUL" is listed as their 16th single, but it's acually the name of their up-coming 6th album. I moved it but it seems someone moved it back, even though it's incorrect. C-ute still has yet to announce a 16th single. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.167.90 (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
