No reason was given for closing the move request. Rationale points were made by both sides of the move request, none of which were touched upon by the closer. While I am the nominator of the move request, I will support a no-movement decision if it is the community consensus, but there was no evidence against community consensus, or why legitimate policy concerns were not addressed.2A02:C7D:CA0D:8C00:95B4:F4A:9B7E:1497(talk)11:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

The spirit and intent ofWikipedia:Requested_moves/Closing_instructionswas not followed, because there was NO CONSENSUS as to the move, and Wikipedia policy states that if the title has been stable for a long time, you have to stick with the long-standing title (in this case, "Smile Pretty Cure!" ).Joseph123454321(talk)03:29, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

There are multiple reasons I consider the closing of the RM was improperly performed. The closure was performed byUser:Amakuru,an editor, who according to his talk page, has been active through the RM process. It should be noted from now Amakuru is not an administrator, and that I have no problem with Amakuru for not being one. Also, it should be noted there has been a discussion attheir respective talk pageabout the closure. From now, I will discuss the reasons why the closure was not handled properly. The background is that the album now located atHours (David Bowie album),which was released through Parlophone Records in 1999 bein called "'hours...'" (yes, with that name, including spaces and punctuation). In 2005, the article was created at'hours...' (album)by User:Aziraphale Jasra ([3]). In September 2006, the article was moved to'hours...'by User:Hahnchen ([4]) for being "needless dab title". In September 2008, User:Xnux opened a RM located atTalk:Hours (David Bowie album)#Requested move (2008).The consensus reads "move toHours...with no prejudice against future discussion to omit the ellipsis in favor of a disambiguation. "by User:JPG-GR. For an unknown reasonUser:BGCmoved the page to'Hours...'against consensusthe following month. The title remained stable since then until Bowie's death last month. Due to thatUser:Mwtoewsopened the RM located atTalk:Hours (David Bowie album)#Requested move 12 January 2016.Mwtoews opened it due to "Restore previous move consensus from 12 September 2008." This RM argument was moretechnicalin itself. After several weeks of discussion, only 9 editors (including me) joined the RM. I want to make a notation that one comment was refactored (from thistothisby the poster). Amakuru closed the debate, as I cite:
Extended, I will explain what I'm disagreeing about Amakuru' closure
I moved the discussion to the talk pageUser talk:Amakuru#Hours.I asked 5 questions to Amakuru around the RM closure. "[W]hich comment(s) listed at Hours' RM led you to decide to move the page toHours (David Bowie album)rather thanHours...orHours... (David Bowie album)?"[H]ow did you reach such conclusion?" "[D]o you know the differences between consensus and polling?" [D]o you know what does "styling" means in Wikipedia's guidelines? "[sic] and "[A]re you aware ofWP:RMNAC?Most of the answers were satisfactory, but certain answers led me to realize Amakuru may not be prepared to make closures of contentious discussions as a non-admin user. The main issue was the answer to question 5 ( "[A]re you aware ofWP:RMNAC?). "Do you think an admin would have closed this differently? Obviously you preferred a different option, so you are objecting to the close... I don't think me being an admin or not has too much bearing on that". I think admins do have different opinions, in fact an admin could have closed as no consensus, or even being wiser, the admin could have moved the page to "Hours... (David Bowie album)",as this title handles both, the alleged recognazibility issuesandthe usage of the name in English-reliable sources (I like to note now I am not opposed to "Hours... (David Bowie album)" but to the unjustified exlusion of the ellipsis ( "..." )). Amakuru also ommited to resolve whatWP:RMNACstates about non-admin closures: "Non-admins should be cautious when closing discussions where significant contentious debate among participants is unresolved." My second main issue is the answer to question 4 ( "[D]o you know what does" styling "means in Wikipedia's guidelines?" [sic]). Amakuru said "As I interpreted it, styling is something covered by MOS:TM, for example" Macy*s "rather than Macy's. Plenty of responders in the RM discussion felt that the... on the end of the Bowie album title falls into this category." Although the very first part is true,MOS:TMis a guideline that has no major relevance than whatWP:ATtext says. For example, refer to the comment given by User:Slim Virgin when closing a discussion about a similar MOSTM issue[6]"There is consensus to move the article back toSunn O)))[fromSunn (band)], perWP:COMMONNAME,which is policy and overridesWikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks."Amakuru said that" Plenty of responders in the RM discussion "(only one) considered the ellipsis as an style. In fact, this album's official title is what MOSTM and AT talk about:" 'hours...' "is not supported by sources, that makes the official title an stylization;" Hours "is supported by some sources; and" hours... "," hours... "and" Hours... "are supported by most sources, resulting that the ellipsis are making"Hours..."theWP:COMMONAME.In a second comment Amakuru decided to not discuss what I pointed them about MOSTM. To conclude, although Amakuru recognizes that they moved the page toHours (David Bowie album)"usually when there is clear consensus to move away from an existing title, but not so clear consensus which title is preferred, it is still productive to figure out which of the alternatives has more weight behind it and use that." ([7]) they weighed more into what most users said ( "SupportHours (David Bowie album)"--regardless if they were policy-based or not), and not seeing all available options, and at the end an undue weight was given to the current title solely for" Recognizability "purposes.©Tbhotch™(en-2.5).04:54, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

This move request operated in a very non-policy based fashion. Editors ignored the naming conventions and precedent. One editor stated that there was a possibility "that the naming convention is the problem".WP:NC-GAL#Elections and referendumswhich specifically and unambiguously states: "For future elections of uncertain date, use a form similar to Next Irish general election". Also,WP:COMMONNAMEdemonstrates Next should be used, as search volumes and results aresignificantly greaterfor next as opposed to 43rd. Naming conventions are clear. Next is easier for regular readers to find, as few would know the exact number of federal elections Canada has held. All other election articles I could find follow the naming conventions. Also, I believe the closing admin was wrong to state "It appears that more!voters than not are satisfied that the present title better suits the spirit of WP:NC-GAL and the practice at related articles"OverturnAusLondonder(talk)05:19, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
