The result of the move request was: Moved to Mr. Bumble. The dot may or may not be needed, but it's already used in the article and its sources. No such user (talk) 15:00, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Bumble (Oliver Twist)Mr BumbleWP:Natural disambiguation. A hatnote should suffice to deal with the character in Mr. Bug Goes to Town, which seems like a much less notable subject. Also, the other topic is an American character. American subjects tend have a dot after the "Mr" that is not proposed to be included here. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:13, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

question - BarrelProof, Is there a reason the request doesn't go to Mr. Bumble (including the period)? -- Netoholic @ 11:20, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per MOS:TIES, I believe the article should use British English, which typically does not include a full stop after "Mr". Note that the body of the article already has many, many examples of "Mr" and "Mrs" that are not followed by a full stop. If it were an American subject, the full stop should be included. (The last two sentences of my proposal rationale were about that issue, but I guess I should have explained that more explicitly.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@BarrelProof and Necrothesp: Doesn't the work itself use the full stops, as well as every single non-primary reference used in this article? -- Netoholic @ 18:05, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that Mr Bumble already redirects to Bumble (Oliver Twist). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
