Article title

For good measure I created a redirect from Surrounded. Although I appreciate keeping the integrity of the title's formatting, I doubt anyone is really going to do a search on this with the parenthesis, space and colon. -- eo 00:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice one... I was gonna do it myself actually but didn't get around to it. Sweetie Petie 08:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Who said it has all that pretentious punctuation anyway? The page on bjork.com may write it that way ONCE, but above that (in the line next to the date) it is written normally. I don't think the stylised font from the cover of the box should dictate this page's official name. Damiancorrigan 20:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine with me too... as long as people are able to find the page by typing "Surrounded" - whether that is the title of the article or if it is redirected. -- eo 21:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, IS there any evidence to suggest it it comes with bonus punctuation? Because if there isn't, it should be moved.Damiancorrigan 21:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion (if I'm allowed one) is that where "Surrounded" is written next to the date is just a headline, and the actual title is the one on the image of the cover, i.e. the one with all the punctuation. Sweetie Petie 23:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be erring on the side of pretention for the hell of it. Damiancorrigan 09:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Im thinking for the sake of practicality the article will most likely be moved sooner or later. Perhaps it can be written with a template at the top of the article showing how the title is printed on the cover. But no one is going to type "( surrounded):" into the wikipedia search box. -- eo 15:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Until Björk herself says "The colon signifies the infinite nature of my music, while the underscores are indicative of where I have been, and the brackets say I feel restrained by my present" I think it should simply be said that it is how it is written on the box and is no way official. Damiancorrigan 15:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody had to type "( surrounded):" to find this article because "Surrounded" has always redirected to "( surrounded):" anyway. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move

Well based on common sense and the above discussion I am going to go ahead and move this page to the more straightforward "Surrounded". If there is a revolt feel free to change it back but I just think with the current title we're asking for confusion and a billion unnecessary redirects. -- eo 20:12, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you didn't do it, so I have. --kingboyk 21:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
