Is this citeable? --WikiTiki89 20:20, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes Pass a Method (talk) 12:29, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- Does it occur in publications not affiliated with itself? --WikiTiki89 17:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- yes Pass a Method (talk) 19:50, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- Seems real. Why wouldn't a long title like that be made into an initialism? Anyway there are two citations plus one in this discussion. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- What on earth does the usage matter whether it is or is not associated with itself? That's a made up criterion.
- Meanwhile, for an actual example of a NON usable citation, consider our very own WP:OWS. Choor monster (talk) 17:21, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Because this is similar to WT:COMPANY and WT:BRAND. --WikiTiki89 19:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Similar? Not similar? It's not policy, and so it's irrelevant. To be honest, they don't look very similar to me. WT:COMPANY? Well, there's no company. And it's not a brand name. Which is good, because we're including (deprecated template usage) OWS sources that explicitly refer to the movement, and not as some generic protest. For what it's worth, we don't have an entry for (deprecated template usage) Occupy Wall Street. Should we? That's Names of specific entities, which leaves things mostly open-ended. But we probably should have an entry for (deprecated template usage) Occupy. And certainly not care a fig who authored the citations. Choor monster (talk) 14:41, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- And a cat's similar to a dog, so what? Mglovesfun (talk) 14:43, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- To be honest, I thought Occupy Wall Street was the name of an organization, if it isn't then I concede. @Mglovesfun, If I were going somewhere that dogs aren't allowed, I would ask before bringing a cat. --WikiTiki89 15:14, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
