Comment but this article does not to magnetic disk head cleaners, such as sold for 3.5" floppy drives, so not just magnetic tape. And it does not apply to optical drive head cleaners, so "head cleaner" is overly generic, since it would naturally cover CD head cleaners. So
magnetic tape head cleaner is the better name.
Head cleaner is not precise enough to identify the topic. We already have a head cleaner article for magnetic stripes of cards at
cleaner card. This article can be expanded to cover cleaning magnetic data tapes, which also need cleaning. --

Oppose – but "Tape head cleaner" might be good.

Rename to
tape head cleaner per
Dicklyon. While the current name is incorrect, the proposed name in the nomination is just unacceptable.

Support move to
Head cleaner: Although this article currently covers only magnetic tape (audio and video cassette) head cleaners, I am unable to find any mention of any other (e.g. optical) head cleaners elsewhere on Wikipedia. If such information is included in the future, one comprehensive
Head cleaner article may be more useful than
Tape head cleaner and
Optical head cleaner (and probably easier to link from other articles). We generally try to use the least disambiguation necessary to define the article's topic (see
WP:PRECISE and
WP:NATURAL for specific language on this), and Tape head cleaner is unnecessarily disambiguated if there is no [Other] head cleaner with which head cleaner could be confused. Wilhelm Meis(

The cleaning card article covers the cleaning of the magnetic heads for reading magnetic stripe cards. --

Interesting thought, but that's not exactly a head cleaner though, is it? While my preference is still for Head cleaner, I see a weak consensus building around Tape head cleaner, and I must say I would prefer that title to the current Video head cleaner which clearly does not fit this article.

Rename to
tape head cleaner. 'Head cleaner' is fine within context of audio or video contexts, but may otherwise cause the scratching of heads [sic]. A more specific designation of the type of 'head' to be cleaned is desirable. -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 09:39, 29 April 2013 (UTC)reply

Any additional comments:
Relister's comment: There is no evident consensus yet, especially because people keep proposing different titles. Rather than close with no consensus, I've relisted the discussion to allow additional discussion on which title, if any, is preferable. —
