The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page to Hook-and-loop fastener, per the discussion below. It also appears that a multimove request involving Velcro would be likely to succeed, but as noted here, the Velcro page was not notified of this discussion. Since whether or not to move to Velcro remains a sticking point, I'd suggest another discussion before peeling either page from the hooks that hold it to its current title.

I had started a discussion already, still open, at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Trademark mis-use. Dicklyon ( talk) 02:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
