Talk:I/III / II/III / III/III

Other series
There appear to be various volumes of books entitled I/III, II/III, and III/III, so I/III, II/III, and III/III (Poison the Well EPs) will help both Poison the Well fans and also non-fan readers landing this in search results triggered by searches such as ["Shuffle" + "Bowie"] or other terms in this article.

 * Your logic here seems completely invalid. The point of disambiguatation is to assist readers in finding existing pages. There are no other existing articles for anything titled I/III, II/III, III/III, One of Three, Two of Three, Three of Three or any combination of the sort. The only thing that came close in my searches just now was a painting called Triptych Bleu I, II, III, but even that's miles away from the title of this project. I don't see how aiding "non-fans" has any merit. Afterall, I don't think any non-fans are aware that The Opposite of December, Tear from the Red, You Come Before You, The Tropic Rot and Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder are the names of Poison the Well albums, but they don't have the band's name at the end of them like The Tropic Rot (Poison the Well album) because there is no other article about Tropic Rot. However, the article Versions (Poison the Well album) is disambiguated this way because there are several albums with the same name, so the article is disambiguated accordingly. Searching for Shuffle and Bowie shouldn't have any merit here either. When searching for things on Wikipedia, the first sentence-or-so appears right next to the search result, which in this case mentions that it's an album by Poison the Well, so any rational human being reading this sentence won't believe that I/III / II/III / III/III has anything to do with say an iPod Shuffle or David Bowie. I/III / II/III / III/III is also both the official name and the common name for the album/album project (as seen here:). It seems like you're trying to fix something that's not broken.

I/III, II/III, and III/III (Poison the Well EPs) → I/III / II/III / III/III – I requested an uncontroversial move back a while ago, but it was declined. The page was moved due to disambiguation and navigation concerns, however there are no Wikipedia articles with titles even close to I/III / II/III / III/III, so I don't believe these reasons were valid or well-grounded. I/III / II/III / III/III is the common name name of the project and no other page has a name even close to that. Fezmar9 (talk) 21:01, 24 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Move to I/III / II/III / III/III After Greg's !vote I took a closer look at the article. We have three individual EPs (for which I could not find a consensus name) and the compilation album collecting them. Moving the article to the compilation's title avoids inventing a name for the set. Searching the individual EPs will lead here, as their names are all contained in the compilation title. If necessary, the individual EP titles can point here or to disambiguation pages as needed. 85.178.198.11 (talk) 03:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Nothing on WP to confuse against. Dohn joe (talk) 16:19, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose, In English Wikipedia we should at least have some content in English. No one else presents the title in the form proposed.  However, I/III / II/III / III/III (Poison the Well EPs) could work.  GregKaye 18:48, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Adding descriptive phrases to a topic title is only appropriate when there is a need to disambiguate, which is not the case here. 85.178.198.11 (talk) 03:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support - No reason to have a disambiguation if there is no ambiguity. A parenthetical disambiguation is meant to be just that, not simply a descriptor to provide further information.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:09, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support removing the disambiguator, i.e. move to I/III, II/III, and III/III but oppose using the form with slashes. The title with multiple levels slashes is confusing (especially give that, unlike on the cover art, we can't vary the size of the slash), and arguably inaccurate, since the article is predominantly about the original EPs individually, whereas the I/III / II/III / III/III moniker was only used on the compilation CD. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 16:42, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
