2 years and no improvement
This article has sat for at least two years with a request for improvement edits. I cannot find any context, or really determine what purpose this article is supposed to serve. On that basis I'm requesting speedy deletion. ▫Bad▫ harlick♠ 04:14, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

NYLON → NyLon (concept) – Current name is too confusing. As discussed in the attempted AfD of this article, it should be moved to a more disambiguated name. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:41, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Support clearly Ny-Lon (TV series) and Ny-Lon (concept) need more than just playing with fonts and hyphens to distinguish them Former “24” heroine Elisha Cuthbert is returning to television as the female lead in CBS’ drama pilot “Ny-Lon.” vs The NY-Lon Life ...Kastner is a resident of a place called NY-LON, a single city inconveniently separated by an ocean In ictu oculi (talk) 14:36, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose The proposal is not an improvement. Most sources seem to use the all-caps version.  For example, see The Economist.  And the term "concept" seems too vague. Andrew D. (talk) 18:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Care to elaborate on how "concept" is too vague for an article about a concept? What exactly would you propose instead? And the all caps version has no delineation between "Ny" and "Lon" making puzzling out the title harder for no real reason.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Support some disambiguator (and retargeting NYLON to Nylon (disambiguation)), as Nylon (magazine) is often stylized in all caps too, and gets more page views than this. I share Andrew D.'s thinking that "(concept)" could be improved, but unfortunately I don't have any good ideas, just bad ones like "(dyad)", "(twin cities)", "(silly buzzword)". So in the absence of a better suggestion I'll still tentatively support "(concept)". 59.149.124.29 (talk) 16:04, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

NyLon (concept) → NyLon – The previous RM solved the stated problem twice over: It added a disambiguator, but also adopted a capitalization that isn't used anywhere else, making the disambiguator superfluous. I do not see any indication that any of the other terms at Nylon (disambiguation) are frequently referred to in PascalCase. Per WP:DIFFCAPS, we should drop the qualifier from this title and just say "NyLon". -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 08:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Support. WP:DIFFCAPS is applicable here, more so since any disambiguator will be awkward. No such user (talk) 11:29, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak support NY-LON may be a candidate for the capitalized "L" but the concept still gets more views (508) than the TV show (346)[|NY-LON].  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:58, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
