• Move "(book)" since the other 3 are also books, so that one is very bad. Empire (2000 book) should redirect (as should Empire (1987 book), Empire (2010 book), Empire (2006 book) respectively). The current "book" title should redirect to the Empire disambiguation page after the move. However, everything should be using full author names. This using surnames only is very poor form. Walking down the aisle in any library or bookstore shows how poor that is. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 08:23, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Those are the WP:NCBK conventions: "If further disambiguation is needed, add the author's surname inside the parentheses: "(Orwell novel)", "(Asimov short story)"," etc. Also, NCBK says nothing about using years, so that's why I formulated the RM like this. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 19:54, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
