Talk:Tax March

Title discussion

I have been actively editing this article over the last couple of days, and none of the major news sources I've seen have referred to this event as "Tax Day March" or "Trump's Tax Day". All have simply called it the "Tax March", which is also the name on the official website. Was the title "Tax Day March" originally chosen to prevent confusion with unrelated events (as there have been tax-related protests in various places throughout history)? There is no Tax March article on Wikipedia currently, but to prevent confusion (and avoid US-centrism) I'd suggest the title of 2017 Tax March instead, which I've also used as a title for the Commons category. I know that category is empty as of this writing, but I hope there will be at least photos from San Francisco in there by evening, assuming my camera doesn't break Funcrunch (talk) 18:01, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

@Plantlady223 and Another Believer: Pinging on this discussion. Funcrunch (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

I'd support a move to Tax March. IMO, no need for the "2017" disambiguator unless there are other articles of similar name. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:00, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

@MB298: Since you created a redirect to here from Tax March and also moved the Commons category to 2017 Tax Day March, do you have an opinion to share on the naming of this article? Funcrunch (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: I renamed the commons category for consistency with the article; but would be fine either way. MB298 (talk) 00:44, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

@Another Believer and MB298: I'm not opposed to using simply Tax March for this article if no one thinks that will be a problem. But since there's now a redirect with that title I'd rather someone else deal with the move so I don't break things. I just finished editing and uploading 60 pix to Commons (to the SF march category) and have no more energy to work on this article tonight... (If a move happens, the lead and infobox will need to be edited accordingly, and of course the article needs a lot more updating which I'll work on tomorrow if no one else gets to it first.)

I moved the page to Tax March. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:56, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Restructure?

Is anyone opposed to me restructuring this article so that there are only subsections for U.S. states in which three or more protests were held, similar to Not My Presidents Day or Impeachment March? This would mean combining many subsections and describing activities by city, alphabetically. There would still be subsections for some U.S. states, for improving flow and organization. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:51, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Sounds good to me - Funcrunch (talk) 03:02, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Adding a Location?

Sorry, I'm still rather new at Wikipedia stuff. There was a tax march also held in Arkansas. How would we go about adding this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.131.188 (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Step 1 find a source, meaning a news report covering the item. With that you can add the item. If you need assistance with basic editing, feel free to contact me. Trackinfo (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 24 May 2026

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: no consensus. With the strength of the arguments based on WP:OVERPRECISION and WP:CONCISE, and the fact an editor questioned the disambiguation without fully opposing it, the strenuous 2-1 numerical advantage in !votes isn't enough for a consensus here. Closing as relisting didn't generate any further discussion. (closed by non-admin page mover) ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 23:25, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Tax March → 2017 Tax March2017 Tax March – @Funcrunch, to differentiate from various other protests about taxes, per WP:DISAMBIG. AnthonyTheGuy (talk) 20:57, 24 May 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 22:57, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

I don't have strong feelings about it one way or the other,* but you should probably ping the others involved in the earlier title discussion. * Other than irritation over my photo of the inflatable Trump chicken, among many other protest photos, being deleted from Commons. Funcrunch (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @Another Believer and @Lonehexagon and @Kingofthedead.

It has been nine years, do you think they'll respond? I'm surprised you did so quickly.

Also, there is an image on this article with a Trump chicken inflatable. (I moved it to the infobox) Sorry about the other photos, though. AnthonyTheGuy (talk) 22:37, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

The same Commons editor has been systematically nominating for deletion anything that they feel remotely violates freedom of panorama, so they'll probably get to the remaining chicken photos eventually.

Regarding the fast response, like @Another Believer I am terminally online when it comes to Wikipedia. :-) Funcrunch (talk) 22:47, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

I'll take that as a compliment! :) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:06, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

I don't feel strongly, but shouldn't we only need to disambiguate if there are similarly-titled pages? Sure, there are other demonstrations about taxes, but I'm not sure how it is confusing to readers for this article to live at Tax March. There is already a note directing readers to Taxpayer March on Washington, but are there any other similarly-named topics to be considered? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:03, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

There's been plenty of protests relating to taxes (not just American history but history in general, but especially American history), and having an article just titled "Tax March" may need some more disambiguation. I think adding a year would be plenty. I do want discussion, hence why I added a move request rather than just moving it without warning. AnthonyTheGuy (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

• Support because "2017 Tax March" is a more descriptive and suitable name for this event. Lonehexagon (talk) 17:37, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose as unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION and per WP:CONCISE. There's no other article using the title on WP, so if this was moved, Tax March would just redirect back here anyway. If there's ever an article written about some other "Tax March", we can reconsider the title then. Station1 (talk) 07:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
