The result of the move request was: Moved. To Okay (album). (non-admin closure)] © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 05:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Okay. → Okay. (album) – see Talk:Gangsta_(manga)#Requested_move_20_February_2016 where it was decided that a dot which doesn't show in third party sources isn't enough to be WP:RECOGNIZABLE. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- If the full stop doesn't show in third party sources, why are you suggesting this be moved to a namespace with the full stop in it at all? Also, this is a third party source that displays the full stop. There are hardly any sources talking about the album yet. Also, I don't even see how WP:RECOGNIZABLE applies in this situation. You're merely suggesting the addition of "(album)" to the namespace. How does that help recognisability? Did you mean "Okay (album)" without the full stop? Ss112 13:34, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Ss112: as a new editor to RM discussions, you cannot be expected to know this but some have wanted to keep the dot in cases like this in discussions in similar RMs. I personally wouldn't. Please remember to sign your contributions In ictu oculi (talk) 06:51, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- @In ictu oculi: Excuse me? I did sign my edit, and I always have. What are you talking about? Also, "A new editor to RM discussions". I hardly think I'm new to RM discussions or really think I'm much involved in them at this point at all. I'm aware of your logic, but it doesn't make sense. Ss112 06:52, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Then whose edit is that below? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:55, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- @In ictu oculi: That's BarrelProof's edit. Please check the edit history of a page before you accuse me of things. Also, I've already asked you not to message on me on my talk page again, least of all to condescendingly instruct me to read pages I've already read and have already told you I've read, or accuse me of following you around based on a few pages or leaving personal comments in edits or edit summaries (where? When?). I was already aware of this page. Ss112 06:58, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

- Use Okay (album). As far as I can tell no other album on Wikipedia has this name, and there is consensus that punctuation like this should not stand. Clearly not the primary topic for "Okay" anyway. Nohomersryan (talk) 17:39, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support Okay (album) per Nohomersryan. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 23:41, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
- Move to Okay (album) until IIO finds another album by that name
, per numerous precedents concluding that decorative full stops, and especially terminating full stops, are frowned upon in Wikipedia article titles, as in the "skate." example of MOS:TM and the prior RM discussions for Anderson Paak, Bakuman, Fun (band), Gangsta (manga), India Arie, Janet (album), Kobato, Lovestrong, Mad Love (JoJo album), Melody (Japanese singer), Moon (visual novel), Shakira (album), and The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BarrelProof (talk • contribs) 01:31, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- @BarrelProof: ah should have known from the smiley it was you . Yes sure there are multiple OK (album)s. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:21, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, O.K.! Somehow I hadn't even noticed the ambiguity with "OK" and "O.K." Some people would consider those really different from "Okay" (and from each other). But I don't, so here's the inevitable suggestion to move it to Okay (As It Is album). —BarrelProof (talk) 10:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

- Support alternate move to Okay (album) without the period. — JFG talk 16:04, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support Okay (album). The sources don't consistently include the period. However, Okay. should remain a redirect to the album, as it's highly unlikely anyone would type that in looking for any other topic.--Cúchullain t/c 15:53, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
