Once the afd is over, we should consider moving the article to a more descriptive, less ambiguous title like $Trump (meme coin). — hako9 (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Who are "they"? What are you talking about? Don't expect users to land on this article without typing in meme coin or some permutation of it. — hako9 (talk) 13:03, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why would a user type Bitcoin (coin) to find an article about bitcoin? Making a new redirect is akin to arguing that no article should ever be renamed because a search suggestion dropdown to the relevant article is just fine. — hako9 (talk) 13:50, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that $Trump is not the best name. We should wait a few days and see what the press calls it. Quick Google search shows: $Trump meme coin, Trump meme coin, $Trump coin. Only rarely is $Trump used without extra qualifier. Hence I'd favor a natural title over parentheses. The parentheses suggest that it's known as $Trump and meme coin is added only a disambiguation. Whereas if people call it $Trump coin or $Trump memecoin in real life those are perfectly fine titles without parentheses. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It would be good to have consistent usage of either upper or lower case for the name of the coin. Right now, both are used. I would suggest using lower case as it is how most reliable sources refer to it (caps aren't easy on the eye). If we reach consensus, it would be good to document this in hidden comment, akin to spelling conventions, to ensure consistency. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
