Dovid ( talk) 01:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC) This section is transcluded from Talk:GlassâSteagall_Legislation/Series_name. If you wish to comment on this section, please do your edits there.
This article is part of a series on the Glass-Steagall Legislation. The context of the series of articles is not the Glass-Steagall Act (i.e., the full Banking Act of 1933). Instead, it focuses on the most well-known portions of the Act, which served to split the financial industry into two worlds, deposits ("banks") and investment.
The series includes:
Originally, these appeared in a single article. The article was very long -- I think it printed at about 70 pages -- and I split it up. To help make the articles easy to find and stylistically hang together, I chose a naming scheme that puts Glass-Steagall at the beginning, followed by a colon and the more specific scope of the individual article. This allowed the main article to become much shorter, when specific areas of it were broken out into separate articles, and only a summary left in the main article.
At the same time, thee naming makes the group of articles easy to spot together in the search box, and easy to differentiate there and in the body of text of the main article, since they are short (after the colon) and the reader's eye easily skips over the common prefix. The shortness also meets WP:CRITERIA's conciseness rule. The consistency in naming also matches WP:CRITERIA's consistency rule.
(The last article in the series is intended to pull several more sections out of the main article. They are the ones that focus outside the US. The original author of the material has agreed to try to help out here, since it is complex and beyond my subject knowledge.)
However, some editors, I'm sure with the best intentions, saw the article names and thought they needed changing, perhaps to be more prose-like. We thus got:
There are several problems with this approach.
I have therefore reverted two of the articles to their earlier, established names. I could not revert one of the others, due to multiple previous moves, and will be asking for administrator assistance in this.
I ask that no further name changes (moves) be made without prior discussion. Dovid ( talk) 01:30, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. See WP:NDESC for a good explanation of phrase titles like this being okay on Wikipedia. ( non-admin closure) Red Slash 02:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Decline of the GlassâSteagall Act â GlassâSteagall: decline â Violates WP:THE, as well as a host of reasons described above (length of name, consistency with other articles, likely title search term, established name ... all of which jive with article naming standards). Dovid ( talk) 18:26, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
I can see that almost nobody likes the proposal. However, this discussion has clarified something to me: The group of articles are all about Glass-Steagall, but are differentiated form each other by a specific focus. "Differentiated" in article titles brings to mind disambiguation. So perhaps, they should be named:
What do you think? Dovid ( talk) 04:41, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I created a "history" section in the market-linked CDs page, which references the regulatory context that Glass-Steagall imposed on banks and their prohibition of offering investment products. I would be more than grateful if someone with more knowledge of banking regulations could review that section and improve it? â Preceding unsigned comment added by Lugevas ( talk ⢠contribs) 22:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
