The result of the move request was: Moved back to Z (cartoonist). There seems to be consensus to not use hyphens in this case. Station1 (talk) 04:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

-Z- (cartoonist) → -Z- – unnecessary disambiguation Joeykai (talk) 01:54, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Symbols, quotation marks, hyphens, ellipses or brackets are insufficient to denote a unique entry. In this case, the search for the cartoonist's article would still involve typing Z. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 04:02, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose verbatim as above. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:56, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Move back to Z (cartoonist): None of the sources cited in the article seem to use "-Z-", which also should be avoided as a decorative styling (MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM). —BarrelProof (talk) 16:43, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Fine by me, but MOS:TM is mainly concerned with capitalization. And WP:TITLETM says that trademarks' naming variations ought to be avoided unless the trademarked spelling is demonstrably the most common usage in sources independent of the owner of the trademark. A significant number of sources use underscores, as in "_Z_", not hyphens (some of them cited in the article). I only moved it to "-Z-" because, apparently, underscores aren't allowed in titles. But yes, it's hard to tell for certain if it's that commonly used in sources. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 21:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * MOS:TM says to "Avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, ..." and provides relevant examples of what not to do, such as "skate." (with a dot at the end) and "[ yellow tail ]" (with special characters before and after English letters, as found here for this topic). The higher-quality sources cited in this article seem to refer to the artist simply as "Z". —BarrelProof (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
