Outline of drawing → List of basic drawing topics — Revert controversial rename, part of a mass campaign by the transhumanist. The original name is descriptive and unambiguous, whereas the "outline" name is a very bad pun, ambiguous (a discussion of outline drawings? Something else?), not a common term in wikipedia or without, and doesn't follow the least surprise naming doctrine. Surely the drawing article provides "an outline" (summary). A list is not a summary (see the OED). Verbal chat  07:25, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Requires admin by the way. Verbal chat  07:26, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This doesn't appear controversial (unlike the rename) so I've speedy tagged the target. Unfortunately I made a mess of this due to a circle of double redirects, so I've had to tag two articles and we're stuck here for the moment. Verbal chat  14:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Should there be a centralised discussion about the names of these "outline" articles as a whole, rather than move just one? The arguments here apply to all these articles, in the main. Knepflerle (talk) 22:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed that's why they should be moved back pending consensus. This one is done now. Verbal chat  23:05, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I oppose the move. There are too few editors engaged here to call it consensus therefore I'm reverting to status quo. -- penubag  (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The original name was a list. Until the situation is resolved it should remain a list. Verbal chat  19:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I also oppose the move - and have moved it back since it lacks consensus. The Transhumanist 03:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Verbal, I agree that the title "Outline of drawing" is awkward and is pun-like. So on second thought, I've fixed this by renaming the page to "Outline of drawing topics", which conforms to the "topics" convention of the name you favor, while clearly indicating this article's association or relation to the collection of outlines on Wikipedia, the format of which this page shares.

 * TT, you are truly devious and disruptive. You have moved this twice, thus blocking a restoration to the original title, which would have solved the problem. Why the obsession with the word "outline"? Get a life and stop this disruption. -- Brangifer (talk) 05:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Straw poll and discussion concerning what outlines should be called
