Requested move 16 April 2016

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Target is a recently created dab page, but other two entries seem a bit implausible, so disambiguator doesn't seem necessary. Any evidence the UK part of the Human Genome Project should be called "UK Project"? I can't see it on a Google search. It can be a hatnote if necessary, anyway.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:22, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

• Move to UK Project (record label) In ictu oculi (talk) 06:42, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
  • It can be but is there a reason on putting the record label part on it? j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 16:53, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

• Move: It's remarkably simple: en:WP is in English, and while it is both important and valuable to add the name in the original writing system, the article itself should be written in the English writing system. Japanese uses a writing system based on square boxes, each holding a character, so of course it is different. Here it does not look as though there is any consistency anyway: the sign over the door seems to say 「ＵＫＰ」, though within the Japanese system it might be quite natural to use a 「．」 to indicate a division between 「ＵＫ」 and 「Ｐ」, because of course Japanese doesn't use spaces.

• Move, but to "UK.Project". That's what it says over the door under the large "UKP" if you normalize the ALL CAPS. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

(Comment): But this "." is a Japanese character. It is used in Japanese as a separator, between "words"; see for example "One-Punch Man", where the Japanese typography uses a very slight extra spacing between "ONE" and "PUNCH", and a (raised) dot as a bigger separator between "PUNCH" and "MAN". Here the whole point is that en:WP uses English orthography, and therefore it uses the English convention that "words" (however defined) are separated by spaces. (Actually, I just looked at the sign, and there is a fairly clear space between "." and "PROJECT". But I doubt if there is an consistency; that is not how Japanese yokomoji works.)
