The result of the move request was: no consensus. Overall I'm closing this as premature. Before we have more RSes to go off of, these arguments are largely based on primary sources. We have extremely limited secondary sourcing here, which makes any further claims tenuous at best, and such arguments appear to not be very persuasive to the participants responding here. I'm leaving the door open for re-litigating this if/when we have more secondary sourcing. Normally this would be a relist, but as closers we are told to not relist a second time unless there is reason to believe a more full consensus could be easily established based on the current circumstances. I do not believe that is the case here. Cheers ( closed by non-admin page mover) — Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 17:07, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Alan Wake II → Alan Wake 2 – per rationale below
The title of this article should be changed to "Alan Wake 2" as the Roman number is only stylised; same situation with Red Dead Redemption 2. Epic Games Store, IGN, GameSpot, Polygon, among others, refer the game as Alan Wake 2 rather than Alan Wake II. Allistayrian ( talk) 10:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

Request move from Alan Wake II to Alan Wake 2 All storefronts, including Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store list the game as "Alan Wake 2", not "Alan Wake II". The game's website and PlayStation Blog also use the title "Alan Wake 2", with a standard numeral. The II in the title is clearly a logo stylization, similarly to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Zohariko1234 ( talk) 11:12, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Alan Wake II → Alan Wake 2 – Now that the game has been fully released, I suggest revisiting this discussion once again. It seems that most of the press refer to the game as Alan Wake 2 instead of Alan Wake II, thus making it the WP:COMMMONNAME. OceanHok ( talk) 09:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
