editI know very little about it, but I have interacted with VCR metal gasket fittings. Anyone know more? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.184.131 (talk) 04:24, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

VCR (disambiguation) → VCR – The prior request to move "Videocassette recorder" to "VCR" failed, so I am uncertain that there is a point of keeping the title as is with parenthetical disambiguation. Even when Americans refer VCR to old VHS recorders, there is also a music band of the same name and a song of the same name. Not to mention Video Cassette Recording (Philips).

- Oppose VCR points properly to videocasette recorder. "VCR" would normally refer to either a VHS or a Betamax system, both covered by the target article -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 11:37, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose: Videocassette recorder is primary use of VCR, and the dab page is in the right place. PamD 15:24, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose. Pages should have a primary topic unless there is an clear need for the page title to disambiguate. No such need is demonstrated here. bd2412 T 11:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
