Hat. (Mike Keneally album) → Hat. – Only article named "Hat." with a period after "Hat". -- Jax 0677 (talk) 15:29, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose While WP:SMALLDETAILS has been used in similar situations (i.e. Airplane!), this album is far too minor to have that kind of recognizability. I'm not sure it's even notable in the first place. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:40, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

• Reply - PROD/AFD, or a note at the top pointing to Hat (disambiguation) can take care of this issue. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. See related RM from last year at Talk:Hat (Davy Graham album). 162 etc. (talk) 17:30, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
• Support per my arguments at the previous discussion, there doesn't appear to be any ambiguity with the ".". Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:43, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
• Support There is no other topic any user would be expecting to end up at in searching "Hat." with a period. If we are arguing the album isn't notable enough, then we should take it to AfD, but there's no other competition for a primary topic at this name.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:42, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. Independent sources, or at least the three cited in the article, tend to call it "Hat" without the period, rather than "Hat." or "hat." Indeed I could support Hat (Mike Keneally album). This is similar to the discussions of Fun (band) and Skate (video game). Adumbrativus (talk) 05:55, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
• Strong oppose. Too ambiguous. Nobody will know what this article's about when looking at its title. Super Ψ Dro 14:20, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
• Rename to Hat (Mike Keneally album) per Adumbrativus. If the dot is not consistently included by independent reliable English-language sources, it should be removed per MOS:TM, etc. Moreover, decorative full stops, and especially terminating full stops, are frowned upon in Wikipedia article titles, as in the "skate." example of MOS:TM and the prior RM discussions for Bakuman, Damn (Kendrick Lamar album), Fun (band), Gangsta (manga), Janet (album), Kobato, Lovestrong, Mad Love (JoJo album), Melody (Japanese singer), Moon (visual novel), Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood, Okay (album), Respect (magazine), Shakira (album), The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Withering to Death, and Your Name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:16, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

  That also makes sense though the dot may qualify per WP:NATURAL. As I argued in the previous discussion it is ridiculous to expect people to know this one has a dot but anyone who does would only be looking for this one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. Full stop insufficient to disambiguate this obscure album. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:03, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
• Comment - Hat (Mike Keneally album) could also be a suitable article title. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. It overcomplicates it, you could search Hat. in the search bar and it would predict the page most likely. No reason to move it Zippybonzo (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
• Rename to Hat (Mike Keneally album) per WP:TITLETM, since the dot is not consistently rendered in RS. Colin M (talk) 23:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
