@Brianhe: Thanks for creating this article. Feel free to look at Draft:Women's March on Portland to see if you can copy over elements like the infobox, etc. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:36, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Title

I preferred the Women's March on Seattle with the call-out to Womxn's March. Unless someone can share a few sources and convince me differently. Jaldous1 (talk) 18:20, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Answering my own question. I see both, so added that in. Jaldous1 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think we usually say "styled as" for uncommon or deliberate misspellings. Example: Ignite (game engine) not IGNITE. But the WP:COMMONNAME guideline is concise: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." The article title here should be exactly what is the most common usage in the media now. - Brianhe (talk) 18:30, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, you're advocating for the title "Women's March on Seattle"? I think this would be best, since "Womxn's" is a stylization. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:12, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I should have said that I prefer the original title, Women's March on Seattle. Ghit counting is not the end-all but we do have these results that support it.

Women's March on Seattle 56,500
Women's March in Seattle 36,700 and I think many of these are just a phrase not the actual title of the event
Womxn's March on Seattle 18,000

The 'x' in the name doesn't seem to belong in the WP title. - Brianhe (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, shall we move back to "Women's March on Seattle"? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:26, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just adding one other thought. There might be a WP:ACCESSIBILITY issue with screen readers, and definitely a searchability issue with the spelling including the spurious 'x'. - Brianhe (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm for returning it to "Women's March on Seattle". (And I despise the Wikipedia-specific phrase "stylized as" — it seems contrived and seems like a cop-out for people who worship marketing over English. "Also spelled as" or something?) --Closeapple (talk) 15:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
