The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics → The China-Pakistan Axis – Per WP:SUBTITLE. (The proposed title already serves as a redirect.) 142.160.89.97 (talk) 00:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Oppose Seems a common name Hhkohh (talk) 00:58, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * How do you reconcile your position with our book-specific guideline, WP:SUBTITLE, which states:
 * 142.160.89.97 (talk) 01:03, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 09:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Support I see no issue with the requested move, and it abides by the given guideline. --  Alex TW 03:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose, only beneficial use of WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT here. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose On a procedural basis I fail to see how this is an "uncontroversial technical request". Having the subtitle is beneficial to disambiguate the book from a theoretical foreign affairs alliance/concept. The point is made above that this is an example of WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT.

 * Neutral on subtitle, but shouldn't it be "The China–Pakistan Axis" no matter what, with an en-dash (per MOS:ENDASH)? It's like "China–Pakistan relations". Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:24, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - guideline cited was based on a flawed assumption. Books and other media items are usually referred to the first time by the full long name and then for brevity, just continue using the short version. --Gonnym (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
