The "The" doesn't seem to be part of the title name, should it be removed?--80.180.196.242 (talk) 10:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Support Agree with Nom that the actual title is "History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)". This would appear to be an uncontroversial move given that page-naming policy discourages extraneous "The"s, but let's weight to see if anyone else weighs in. FOARP (talk) 11:27, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Support as above, the publication title does not start with "The". I suggest also removing the introductory word "The" from the start of the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE. 92.249.211.16 (talk) 12:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- I also note that Short Course is a redirect to Short course (about swimming) as
{{R from other capitalisation}}
, but because the article lede says that this book is "[c]olloquially known as the Short Course", it may deserve a hatnote (and retargeted per WP:DIFFCAPS?) 92.249.211.16 (talk) 12:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)- I've turned Short Course into a disambiguation page. Station1 (talk) 02:00, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

- Support per WP:THE. Beginning an article with "the" is discouraged when unnecessary. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
