The result of the move request was: Move to Bookseller and Publisher (Australian magazine) SilkTork *^YES! 15:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Bookseller & Publisher → Bookseller+Publisher — Bookseller+Publisher is the current name of the magazine. Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC) EditorAndrew (talk) 06:29, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no problem with dropping the Australian. However, the name suggested does not appear to fit the guidance at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), which states "When deciding how to format a trademark, editors should choose among styles already in use (not invent new ones) and choose the style that most closely resembles standard English, regardless of the preference of the trademark owner. This practice helps ensure consistency in language and avoids drawing undue attention to some subjects rather than others." Surprisingly, I can't find anything in the naming conventions or Manual of Style that gives guidance on this specifically, but I would have thought that the + symbol was not standard English use for and.

I favour "Bookseller & Publisher", with a redirect from Bookseller+Publisher. p.s. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BOOKSELLER+PUBLISHER magazine deleted a duplicate of this article in July 2006 as non-notable; this article was created just before that one. Some external sources to show notability would be welcome. We don't have an article on its publisher, Thorpe-Bowker (previously D.W. Bowker, but we do have an article on the US parent, R.R. Bowker. A merge there and some notes about the Australian division might be best. Fences&Windows 17:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are many booksellers and publishers, in many countries. Bookseller & Publisher (Australian periodical)? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 18:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I propose Bookseller and Publisher (Australian magazine) (or Australian periodical) because that's the magazine's name in spoken English and it won't get confused with the trades of bookseller and publisher. (EditorAndrew (talk) 13:51, 13 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]
