R (single album) → -R- – The name of the album can be use entirely for the title of the article. the "-" isn't a forbidden character to not use for the title. For more, please see WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS. Also, there is also an article with a dash on the title; see -77.82X-78.29. HDORS ( talk | contribs) 20:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC) reply

• Oppose - we don’t stylize it as folklore, we don’t stylize it as ~how i'm feeling~, we don’t stylize it as " BO$$", we don’t stylize it as " BOYSHIT", so why would we stylize it as -R-? Even though dollar signs and tildes aren’t at WP:TSC, we still don’t include them in titles, so why would we here? From what I’ve seen, no characters other than the alphabet, numbers and brackets are added to titles unless it’s for a good reason. D🐶ggy54321 ^{( let's chat!)} 00:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Oppose – Both of sources that I checked that are cited in the article, NME and Billboard, call it R without hyphens. —  BarrelProof ( talk) 21:38, 9 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Oppose - The album you mentioned above is clearly a pair of negative numbers (coordinates precisely) which is not the case here. Blink0327 ( talk) 11:08, 11 March 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Noticing that the title of -77.82X-78.29 is using hyphens rather than minus signs, I have opened an RM at Talk:-77.82X-78.29. You are all encouraged to participate in that discussion. —  BarrelProof ( talk) 17:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Oppose - per Spotify, no hyphens at all. Nahnah4 ( talk | contribs) 05:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Support - I don't think it would cause any problems to move it, and, as -R- is the official name, we may as well. The problem with R is that it is just a single letter of the alphabet, and the chance of coming into problems with other albums having the same or similar names is very high. -R-, on the other hand, is much less likely to be replicated. We will have redirects either way anyway, so yes, I absolutely support this move. Skb7 ( talk) 05:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Oppose – I agree with the opposing reasons above. I don't aee how we're going to runninto problems with it being a single letter as suggested above, the article is already disambiguated for that reason. Alex ( talk) 10:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Strong oppose - I am very certain that it is not Google search-friendly. [1] — beetricks ~ 💬 · ✉️ 11:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC) reply
• Oppose - I'm pretty sure "-R-" is just an alternate stylization to the actual name, since most streaming services, news articles and overall sources also don't include the hyphens at all. And, yes, it isn't a Google friendly search. Also, I think the "coming into problems with other albums" thing isn't an issue at all. There are plenty of albums with the exact same name, and nothing happens. The articles simply have the artist's name on their titles, it's pretty common.

• Oppose - If sources like New York magazine, NME, Yonhap News, The Korea Herald, Consequence of Sound, call it just R, we call it R. -- Ashley yoursmile! 06:34, 13 March 2021 (UTC) reply
