The Little Tigers (band) → The Little Tigers – Per WP:2DABS, no disambiguation page is necessary particularly since the comic strip has no page of its own. A hatnote should suffice. Timmyshin (talk) 20:38, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• Request - Timmy, agreeing with most of these moves, you've caught some corkers, but would you mind presenting a Google Books search result on this one? How often are Xiaohu-dui the subject? Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:59, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• Sorry, couldn't find any in English. Timmyshin (talk) 21:13, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

No :), exactly, the term invariably refers to the Little Tigers subset in Asian Tigers (economics). So why should we make the Taiwanese band Xiaohu-dui the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:56, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

• User:Red Slash, what results did you get from Google Books search. Did you get the same results as me, which is why I requested User:Timmyshin do a Google Books search, I was being polite and friendly, since this editor is doing good work, but I don't believe after a Google Books search he will support his own move request.

• I do have reservations now but not for the reason that you indicated, since I'm not a believer of Google Books. Anyway, my concern is that the Taiwanese band doesn't appear to have ever used an English name on any of their albums as far as I can see. Perhaps "Xiao Hu Dui" is a better title? Timmyshin (talk) 02:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Argh, I think I misread this the first time. My apologies, In ictu oculi. Yeah, support Xiao Hu Dui Red Slash 02:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

• Support moving to Xiao Hu Dui, we should not be in the business of using translations where the name of the entity has not been translated by others. bd2412 T 03:20, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

User:BD2412 while I completely agree with your comment, I may have misled: sorry I didn't mean to imply "Little Tigers" was never used for 小虎隊 in Google Books, it seems to be used 4 times, and Xiaohu dui 2 times, I was simply saying that the move cannot claim The Little Tigers which refers to the Asian Tiger economies. I would be neutral between Little Tigers (band) and Xiao Hu Dui. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

If translated at all, it seems to have been done very little, which leads me to think that we should be going by the much more common untranslated name. I would agree that for our English-speaking readers, the economic usage would therefore predominate over the effective non-usage with respect to the band. bd2412 T 14:31, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
