Requested move 15 June 2020 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Speedy moved. This is an uncontroversial move to the disambiguation required by WP:NCTV, as per Netoholic. If there are incorrect incoming links, they can be fixed via a WP:AWB request. (closed by non-admin page mover) --IJBall (contribstalk) 00:52, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Support and speedy close as uncontroversial Per WP:NCTV and WP:CONSISTENT with almost all other Thai TV series (compare "Thai TV series" vs "Thailand TV series"). -- Netoholic @ 02:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: Moving The Mask Singer (Thailand TV series) to The Mask Singer (Thai TV series) might be uncontroversial, but the moving of The Mask Singer to The Mask Singer (Thailand TV series), which Kanghuitari performed just prior without discussion, was not. It would have been much better if Kanghuitari initiated a requested move discussion before making any unilateral changes. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Since 2018, this article has been titled 'The Mask Singer (Thai TV series)'. Kanghuitari (talk) 06:49, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
      • You renamed the page to The Mask Singer (Thai TV series) in 2018, but left lots of incoming links to The Mask Singer, all of which were references to the Thai version, and I shortly retargeted The Mask Singer back to the Thai-version article. Since the redirect was not disputed for the following two years, and the Thai season articles continued to use the format The Mask Singer (season 1), I requested that the page be moved back to The Mask Singer earlier this month, because it appeared to be unnecessary disambiguation. (Only the Thai version is known as The Mask Singer (instead of masked, and without the country name.) Seeing that the 2018 move had been reverted, you should have made this RM first, instead of moving the page to the wrong title and then filing this RM later, giving it the false appearance of being a minor uncontroversial request. That said, I don't have a particular preference, and since the incoming links appear to have been addressed and you already moved the season articles, I'm not going to oppose this RM. But it should have been better framed to reflect the question, "is the Thai version not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the title The Mask Singer? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
        • This franchise is often referred to as 'The Mask Singer', and the name of the Indonesian and Vietnamese version is also 'The Mask Singer'. Kanghuitari (talk) 03:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
