No. 6 Collaborations Project → No.6 Collaborations Project – There's no space. Unreal7 (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not noticing the typo while creating the article. Pretty sure this qualifies as a non-controversial move and doesn’t require discussion. Pinging Anthony Appleyard to make the move and close this.—N Ø 18:51, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – I'm pretty sure that "No. 6" is the correct way to write it. JE98 (talk) 21:04, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Per No. 5 Collaborations Project. Redthreadhx (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me if I’m missing something, but every source as well as the iTunes pre-order are going with No.6 Collaborations Project [1]. How does this have anything to do with his earlier EP which clearly did have the space [2]?—N Ø 06:38, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be "No.6", but here [3] it is obvious he named it after No.5 (note without space) and it is odd to put space in one and not put space in another when they are somehow related. Redthreadhx (talk) 10:58, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But is "No.6" the proper format? From what I have seen in the past, there should be a space. JE98 (talk) 12:46, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the space is the proper format. Nice4What (talk) 00:04, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support because it is the official name of the album, and the WP:COMMONNAME used in reliable sources [4] [5] [6]. Calidum 04:08, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support – the album title is clearly written as “No.6” on iTunes and on Sheeran’s post. There’s no “correct” way to write “No.” as far as I’m aware, so we should just go with the official version. Hayman30 (talk) 04:38, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the album title is clearly written as “No.6” on Apple Music. [7] -- BrandNew Jim Zhang (talk) 06:50, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Studio or compilation?

I'm not a big fan of what you've just done, MaranoFan. Three of his studio albums were titled with the symbols - plus, multiply and divide. It would only complete the pattern if his fourth album is titled "-" (subtract). With that said, I think it's unlikely this new project (No.6 Collaborations) is the fourth studio album. From what I know, MTV is a gossip entity and Rolling Stone is a reputable music publication. I think the latter is what we should go with here, given that there are not many sources calling this project a "studio album". Album itself is a vague term that could refer to other forms of musical collections such as EP, single, mixtape, etc. I think we should go with the Rolling Stone wording and call it a compilation album. That is, in fact, the way Ed Sheeran himself calls the project... and it makes sense because he is likely keeping the 4th studio album for the "subtract" title.
