– Sorry about this, a RM has been forced by an editor who believes that the album qualifies per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC but with a dozen basic uses related to 915 hits for "Venting is" in Google Books a 2005 only album by a Kentucky grunge band is not the absolute majority meaning of "venting" in mankind's history. The album doesn't even have a cover or sources and isn't clear why would pass WP:NALBUMS. In ictu oculi ( talk) 17:42, 20 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose. Sorry about this, but an article stable at this title for over ten years was unilaterally moved with no justification or evidence. See WP:TITLECHANGES. This is not about random word searches. According to WP:DISAMBIGUATION, this is simply about topics on Wikipedia called "Venting". "Venting" is an English word - it gets used in lots of sentences. That doesn't mean those uses are topics on WP. Surely if there were another candidate for primary topic for "Venting" someone besides In ictu would have spotted it sometime in the past decade.

This just means that for 10 years anyone looking for greenhouse gases, soil, or industrial medical or chemical uses of "Venting" has had this in the way of their search results. And we have traffic from mislinks from Arc mapping, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Chimney Sweep Guild. Is it likely that such links expected an indie album to be sitting at venting?
This illustrates the problem, when we insert a trivial (and in this case non-notable) entertainment product in the search slot of a common English word we jam up the search engine, what is not to understand? And you didn't notice it in 10 years. But it was brought to your attention and you decided to force this RM, why? WP:MOVE allows common sense moves, and why are you opposing? In ictu oculi ( talk) 18:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Three mislinks after ten years is not an argument to move. It shows how rarely our editors, and probably readers, expect "Venting" to lead to anything at all. Consider this: if it were not for this album, Venting would still be a redlink. As for notability, see WP:NOTABLE. Dohn joe ( talk) 19:51, 20 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Yes exactly, Venting would be a redlink and the search function would find the other pages and the mislinks wouldn't have happened. That's the whole point. In ictu oculi ( talk) 05:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC) reply
