On 15 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from + + (EP) to (+ +). The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move 16 November 2022

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.

The result of the move request was: moved to + + (EP). Although a move away from the bare title + + was unanimously supported, the consensus among the discussion participants is that the band name is unneeded in the disambiguator.

+ + → + + (Loona EP) – there are various more notable meanings for plus plus as shown on ++ dab page. So why Loona EP rather than just + + (EP)? Because it was reissued as X X (EP), so anyone hunting for it is not necessarily going to recognise "+ +" anyway. The inclusion of band name Loona is needed to pass WP:CRITERIA.

That would be perfectly fine too. The current situation is a non-starter. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
Hash (EP) is only at that title because of technical restrictions around the "#" symbol. A better comparable would be Ed Sheeran's ÷ (album) and + (album). 162 etc. (talk) 19:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

– Alternative, less-restricted titles. The titles for these EPs do not seem to be simple stylizations. For , the parentheses would substitute the brackets (as above), and either the number sign is substituted with its pronunciation as (Hash) (similar to Back and Forth (film) and "Number 9 Dream") or the number sign is substituted with the sharp symbol as (♯) (similar to ♯P and "Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35").

Korean music labels are characteristically consistent and stringent with their titings, even in those cases where it appears to be at odds with the album artwork. As a counterexample, Belle and Sebastian will varyingly style their group name as having either an ampersand or the word 'the' on their albums, and various music stores, music label listings, official websites, etc. will vary from either & or 'the' without always having the best rhyme or reason. Korean labels tend to be stricter – even though there is no space on the artwork for , you will be hard-pressed to find an online listing or official source otherwise that doesn't include a space. As far as how fans refer to it, there is probably a preference to type out ++ in informal conversation as it's quicker, but (as a barometer rather than strict metric) fan wikis will typically ensure the space is there. --AVNOJ1989 (talk) 01:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Support. These are the official name of the albums and have been consistently named this across a number of resources rather than some elective stylized names which won't be maintained in the future, and I have not seen fans come up with alternate names for them (if they have, they haven't used those names consistently). For (+ +), examples in WP:NCTR seem to allow for either + + or (+ +), but I would suggest (+ +) makes more sense, in line with what is proposed. Nearly the exact same rationale for (12:00) and (&). The question, really, is what to do with ? Officially, both 'Hash' and 'Sharp' have been used to refer to the album , and if you read through user comments at the bottom of this fan wiki , there is not a clear 'winner', but 'Hash' seems to win out.
