Cooper-S → Cooper-S (album) – "Cooper-S" in WP:RS should redirect to Mini Cooper-S. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:31, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- I assume you want the target to be Cooper-S (album)? If so, feel free to make that change and delete this small comment. Dohn joe (talk) 13:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. In the first 150 results in a search for "Mini "Cooper-S"" I only found one that used a hyphen. The name of the model was the "Cooper S" - without a hyphen (see Mini). There's no evidence that readers or editors would use the hyphenated version to refer to anything but the album that uses it (no mislinks, for example). Dohn joe (talk) 13:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- You are arguing that " - " is sufficient to indicate "(album)" per WP:RECOGNIZABILITY? In ictu oculi (talk) 20:24, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm saying that essentially no RSs use the hyphen in the name of the car, so there's no conflict. The only notable thing called "Cooper-S" is the album. Dohn joe (talk) 20:45, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose. As this may appear in search results a hatnote would be acceptable, but the hyphen is incorrect for the car, and it's unlikely that anyone would expect the article about the car to have this title. Peter James (talk) 21:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. The car was the "Cooper S", sans hyphen, and I'll note that there's no indication of what to do with the base name Cooper-S. Leaving redirecting to a disambiguated title makes disambiguation pointless, and creating a dab page for two items titled differently seems silly. I've added a hat note, which should clear up any confusion.--Cúchullain t/c 16:42, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
