Off-White → Off-White (company) – There are many contexts in which the names of colors are capitalized, for example in catalogs. The primary topic for this title should be Shades of white, not some relatively new and little-known company. Move this page to redirect this title to Shades of white, with an appropriate redirect hatnote. bd2412 T 02:12, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination, especially in view of the fact that, as of this writing, there are entries which have dueling hatnotes pointing to Off-White, Off White as well as Off-white, which (along with Off white) already redirects to Shades of white.

 * Support - off-white, not matter how it is written, should link to Shades of white. --Gonnym (talk) 10:14, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Doesn't that suggest we have have a disambiguation page? [//tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=Off-White|Off_white|Off_White|Off-white page views] show the base page name gets orders of magnitude more hits than other variants, but I can't believe everyone is looking for the company. It has fewer than twenty links in article space, and over half of them have Virgil Abloh linked nearby, making it seem like the founder and the company are synonymous. For the others, page stats are a bit of a wash. 94.21.204.175 (talk) 12:06, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * There's also a song called "Offwhite" on Inside (Bill Morrissey album). 94.21.204.175 (talk) 13:00, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Page views are not the only concern when determining ambiguity. The color is the clear primary topic by historical importance, and the thing which all other uses are named to invoke. bd2412  T 13:00, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, and I thought that was clear in my comment. I didn't suggest where the disambiguation page should be, only that one should exist. 94.21.204.175 (talk) 13:10, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I see. I have put together Off-white (disambiguation). Cheers! bd2412  T 13:12, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You beat me to it, I was just creating one in draft. Santé! 94.21.204.175 (talk) 13:19, 29 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. I've edited the hatnotes to refer to the new DAB. 94.21.204.175 (talk) 13:23, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Good, thanks. bd2412  T 18:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
