Name

I believe there’s another process and area to discuss disambiguation links, but thought opening a section here could allow for subject-specific idea generation. Another publication, MW (Indian magazine), is based in India and focuses on subjects related to India, and was formerly titled “Man’s World” but changed its name to MW.

“2021 magazine” makes sense in that it includes the year the publication seems to have started, but, might be confusing (started in 2021, but continues to publish, versus only published during 2021). Would it make sense to change the name to “Man's World (magazine)” or is this too nitpicky?

I think my renaming might be a good start. Biohistorian15 (talk) 06:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

No, none of these are any good. The title in parentheses must be something that does not apply to the Indian magazine. Both are periodicals. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 05:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Man's World (periodical) → Man's World (2021 magazine) – Per my comment above, the current disambiguation is incomplete. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 05:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose as unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION. There is no other article on WP about a periodical titled Man's World. That we also have MW (Indian magazine), which was formerly titled Man's World calls for a {{distinguish}} hatnote (which I'll add now), but not a title change. Besides which "2021" does not disambiguate from "Indian"; we'd need either "American" and "Indian" or "2021" and "2000", but for most readers neither of those would help any more that a hatnote.

Oppose per @Station1. Adding the year makes for an unfortunate disambiguation too, if the magazine is still being published. Killuminator (talk) 13:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
