Quirky: The remarkable story of the traits, foibles, and genius of breakthrough innovators who changed the world → Quirky (book) – Per WP:CONCISE and WP:SUBTITLE, where the subtitle is too long for a natural disambiguator. A look through reviews of the book show that many sources refer to it as just "Quirky" in their article titles and content, although they may mention the full title + subtitle once at the start. e.g. Bennv3771 (talk) 01:39, 12 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Support move per WP:SUBTITLES and WP:CONCISE. Furthermore, very long titles are cumbersome and take up a lot of space in mobile view, as well as in hatnotes, lists, etc. There is absolutely no requirement that an article must be titled the "official" name. For what it's worth, the subtitle should be capitalized as well, because that's how titles are written in American English.  --Animalparty! (talk) 07:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong support per WP:SUBTITLE. I thought and I had resolved this last month, but it looks like it was reversed on the basis that "WP:SUBTITLE is just a guideline". Sigh. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 07:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * support per above and the original title is a long title but must use full discussion, not a speedy move Hhkohh (talk) 10:15, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * If you're meaning that a full discussion is needed now that the original move had been reversed, certainly. But I hope that's not to suggested that the article should not have been "speedy move[d]" in the first place. Unlike deletion, there is no such thing as a "speedy move". Articles can be moved as needed, provided that they are moved back upon request so that a full discussion can be had. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 22:49, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It means we should not regard as an uncontroversial move Hhkohh (talk) 08:44, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Is that to say it "should not have been 'speedy move[d]' in the first place"? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 18:40, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
