Too Many Humans..... → Too Many Humans – The article title contains five consecutive dots, which is a phenomenon that is basically never used in ordinary English – I found only four articles like that on all of Wikipedia. MOS:TM says to try to use ordinary English formatting. Although this (self-released, apparently not very notable) album does indeed have five dots on its cover art, this typographical embellishment is not supported by the cited sources. The article cites three independent (non-user-generated) sources: Louder, Vinyl District, and Strauss Media. All three of them use no dots at all when referring to this topic. One non-independent source is also cited (Drag City), and it doesn't use any dots either. The proposed title already redirects to this topic. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 07:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 12:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose based on the argument of MOS:TM which does not deal with article titles at all. Gonnym (talk) 07:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, but perhaps you would like it better if I quote WP:TITLETM: "Article titles follow standard English text formatting". Obviously, WP:TITLETM is about titles. Also please note the comment about sources. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of the four cited sources include the dots (not counting Discogs in the WP:ELMAYBE category, which is unreliable per WP:UGC and WP:DISCOGS). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
