Gaming computer → Gaming PC – Proper term that's most commonly used. CoolingGibbon (talk) 13:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. SkyWarrior 02:46, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CoolingGibbon and MrOllie: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a 15 year old article and it is not obvious that it should be moved to an abbeviated form of the current title. - [[User:|MrOllie]] (talk) 13:30, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see what article longevity has anything to do with this. No one in PC gaming circles uses the term "gaming computer". A simple Google search should prove that. --CoolingGibbon (talk) 13:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move: per lines pf MrOllie. Djm-leighpark (talk) 03:14, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per consistency with PC game, which is not titled "computer game", and shouldn't be because it would sound stilted. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:47, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "PC" may be a well known initialism in tech circles but it can readily be confused with other terms. As such, it would be inappropriate to move it. "Gaming computer" is sufficient. (And this would also apply to "PC Game" which should really be at "personal computer game". --Masem (t) 04:13, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
