Requested move 16 May 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. The majority of editors commenting do not think that the punctuation is sufficient to distinguish from other topics with very similar names. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 06:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]



No. No. No.No. No. No. (Margaret Thatcher quote) – This quote is certainly notable, but it differs from the disambiguation page No, No, No only by punctuation. JIP | Talk 11:46, 16 May 2021 (UTC) Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 02:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I didn't put this in the right place. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 07:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: WP:DIFFPUNCT says [t]he general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for. In this case, I do not think it is reasonable to assume that someone who enters "No. No. No." into the search box is definitely looking for the Margaret Thatcher quote and not for any of the topics at No, No, No. Rublov (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Why? What else would you be looking for if you intentionally include the full stops? Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    They might be looking for any of the other topics at No, No, No. After all, mixing up commas and full stops is an easy mistake to make. Rublov (talk) 12:11, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – I don't think full stops are sufficient as a form of disambiguation, per the above. RGloucester 00:44, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to IMF

[edit]

"..the final part of her statement a reference to the 1976 sterling crisis under a Labour government"

Not only a reference to that. The Wilson government of the 1960s spent many months under IMF 'discipline'. This has largely been successfully expunged from the collective memory through its being ignored by present-day historians, but it is referred to in Richard Crossman's Diaries of a Cabinet Minister and in some academic papers, for example here.
