Talk:Video Games

Requested move 2 July 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: not moved. WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:DABNAME apply here. Additionally, most of the entries are plural, which differentiates the title from "Video game". (non-admin closure) Streetr4 (talk) 04:41, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Video Games → Video game (disambiguation)Video game (disambiguation) – Wouldn't this make more sense since it's the WP:RPRIMARY target for Video games and this variation is both listed in the disambiguation page and is singular?

• Inclined toward oppose. This seems pretty clear case of WP:DIFFCAPS and all of the items lists other than the lower-case primary topic use mixed case. Readers deliberately using this capitalization are likely to be looking for something specific with that mixed case title rather than the generic lower case. older ≠ wiser 14:00, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose. This is a pretty straightforward application of WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:DABNAME. Every single entry either has the proper name "Video Games" or is a partial title match containing the proper name (plus one "VideoGames"). No doubt some readers end up here intending Video game but this is in line with how we typically handle these things. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 21:48, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
• Support. If we're looking at capital-G "Video Games" only, the primary topic is Video Games (Lana Del Rey song), which gets hundreds of daily pageviews and eclipses everything else on the dabpage. I don't think this is a good use of WP:DIFFCAPS, however; the actual primary topic of course is Video game, and Video Games should redirect there. Note that a stable primary redirect existed until an undiscussed edit a few months ago. 162 etc. (talk) 01:52, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose Most of the entries are "Video Games", not "video game" or "Video Game". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:29, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose Clear case of DABNAME, DIFFCAPS, and PLURALPT. If this wasn't the case I'd support some other title. 1isall (talk | contribs) 16:36, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
