The article is titled NWA Power and suggests that the show's name is "stylized" as NWA Powerrr, but everything from the NWA seems to indicate that the literal name of the show is spelled with those three "r"s. Isn't it a bit silly for Wikipedia editors to second-guess the declared name of a series just because it's spelled in a non-traditional way? The primary article should clearly be renamed to NWA Powerrr, with a redirect from NWA Power. — Preceding

ErdrickLoto: maybe it should say officially, but the page name should go by what its commonly referred to by
WP:RS, which all only use 1 r:
[1][2][3]. Do you have any examples of RS using a 3 r spelling? But the youtube page does have 3 r, so it should be the official name, but not the
WP:COMMONNAME
Well, there's
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7],
[8], etcetera, etcetera. Depending on which search engine I use, "NWA Powerrr" has anywhere from slightly more to considerably more results than "NWA Power", so it seems to me as though it's both the official and common name.

Of the ones you listed only The Wrap and Prowrestling.net qualify as reliable sources. In my navigation I have seen Power used more than Powerrr. It is also not pronounced Powerrr. StaticVapormessage me!05:21, 23 October 2019 (UTC)reply
The actual show itself isn't a reliable source, nor are the websites that report the name properly, but a bunch of websites that get the name wrong are reliable sources? Chrissakes. Fine, let it be wrong then. I'm not invested enough in Wikipedia to spend the next decade rules-lawyering this nonsense.

The show is called NWA Powerrr, and that's just a fact. You are right about that. NWA Power is NOT the name of the show as you can clearly see at their webpage [1], and ALL their sites, social media, YouTube, etc. It was first announced as NWA Power (and that's why there are some sources calling it NWA Power), but changed immediately before the first airing of Powerrr. They never used Power after the first airing again. NWA Powerrr is the official name.

Hey everyone, the official website calls it Powerrr, I don't know of a better source than that. Article was updated accordingly, and somebody with an account should start a rename.

Based on every single site on the internet. It's called Powerrr, and everyone writes it that way. Most importantly, the official websites, social media, etc of the NWA write it as Powerrr. It's simple: It's called Powerrr. — Preceding

If "everyone writes it that way" than do what I asked. I read plenty of different websites and they don't. In an official press release NWA last week called it Power
[9]. Lets look at other RS:
[10][11][12][13][14][15]. So as I said prove your case, because clearly you are just making it up as you go. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk12:58, 5 December 2019 (UTC)reply
The NWA uses 'Power'? I am baffled, read their website
[21]. Do you think they make the same typo over and over, including the URL and official hashtag? And IMDB isn't a reliable source? Somebody please
WP:RM.

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
NWA Power →
NWA Powerrr – As per discussion above, the spelling of 'Powerrr' is used on their website, twitter, their youtube show and is WP:CommonName as per other wrestling journalists. Discussion above does not show a consensus however, so a proper discussion with clear preferences is needed.

Oppose That's like asking for
Impact Wrestling's article to be reformated as "Impact! Wrestling, or IMPACT Wrestling, or IMPACT! Wrestling, etc." It's a stylization for marketing and branding purposes. Nothing more, nothing less.

Support NWA has branded this show as Powerrr and consistently uses this spelling across all channels. Reliable sources seem to be split in their use of Powerrr/Power, so I don't see a consensus common name there. A peculiar spelling should not be considered stylism either.

Oppose Many pieces of media are marketed or advertised with stylised lettering (eg.
Se7en,
Driv3r,
The H8ful Eight). It's quite a common media tactic because it makes the title look more flashy and cool. But you will notice that their article names are not titled as such. A pointless move, and completely counter to every other instance of stylised lettering.
