Power Macintosh 6400 series → Power Macintosh 6400 – Unclear as to why the word 'series' was in the name, and I can't complete this rename myself for some unclear reason. Warren -talk- 00:36, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Unclear what you mean by "unclear", since you are the one who changed it from being about the series to being about just the 6400. A more honest proposal that contrasts the move proposal with the alternative of re-uniting the series article would make more sense. Dicklyon (talk) 01:20, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What's unclear here? Are you familiar with the dictionary definition of the word series? Wiktionary has it as A number of things that follow on one after the other or are connected one after the other. The Power Macintosh 6400 is not a series of computers -- it's one computer design, sold with some different CPU and video card options. Apple didn't sell them one after another. Also, have a look around Wikipedia for precedence. You'll find that we don't use the word "series" in an article title anywhere else (except Power Macintosh 5000 series, which is also wrong) to describe a particular computer design, even if they were sold one after the other: Dell Optiplex, iMac, Power Macintosh, Amiga, Atari ST, Mac Pro, on and on and on. Unless you can think of a reeeaalllly good reason why the Power Macintosh 5000 and 6000 are exceptions to the rule across all computing articles, I suggest you reconsider your position.

Support Power Macintosh is the series, Power Macintosh 6400 is an example of the series MfortyoneA (talk) 07:56, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A rather strangely worded request following a stranger article history, but at this stage it's the best way forward. Andrewa (talk) 03:17, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
