Suggest renaming to "2016 video game voice actor strike", which (without the date) is how it's known in the popular press ( common name). But no one calls it "Video Game Strike of 2016" as a proper noun, especially as it's not a video game strike per se. czar 22:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to include the -17 but not the SAG-AFTRA per consensus — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 21:06, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
2016 video game voice actor strike → 2016-17 SAG-AFTRA video game voice actor strike – The strike has carried on into 2017, and the precedent for multi-year strikes shows that it should be renamed 2016-17; see 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike and 1942–44 musicians' strike. Also clarifying that it is specifically a SAG-AFTRA strike, and not a more general game voice actor strike. Eldomtom2 ( talk) 13:09, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
The strike's being going on for a long time now and contract negoitations broke down months ago. SAG-AFTRA is the only union striking. The lede agrees with me on this: "...an ongoing strike started ... by the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union..." As for the year range, I don't see the (unlikely) potential of the strike reaching into 2018 as a reason to keep the title in an inaccurate state. Eldomtom2 ( talk) 17:22, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
They're just asking, they're not actually striking. As for WP:COMMONNAME, see my first post. It's "Writers Guild of America strike", not the more commonly used "writers strike". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eldomtom2 ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS states that it can be a valid argument for article titles, and WP:COMMONNAME does not apply to vague or misleading titles. This is not a video game voice actor strike, it is SAG-AFTRA going on strike against video games. Eldomtom2 ( talk) 09:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
The following line: "Specifically, the failure to come up with residual payment model was an issue, as the union cited "fanatical refusal" from the publishers." clearly violates NPOV as it seeks to portray one side of the dispute as unreasonable with the use of weasel words. The fact that the word in general was taking from a SAG-AFTRA rep and used as a statement of fact within the article demonstrates a clear bias. This should be corrected.
