Use the official title, with redirect at commonly used names? 58.28.133.63 10:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I have no objection to the move. I knew when I created the article that it would probably not stay at this title for long. However, let's take a few days to discuss the best title so it doesn't get moved more than once.
Would including the year be useful, as is common for most Acts of Parliament? That would make the title Crimes (Abolition of Force as a Justification for Child Discipline) Amendment Act 2007 (currently a redirect).-gadfium 20:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The article should be at the most common English name, not at the official name. Is Child Discipline Bill the most common name? —METS501 (talk) 01:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I think Child Discipline Bill (or more correctly Child Discipline Act) would be the most widely recognised name of those which are reasonably accurate. The Anti-Smacking Bill is probably better known but is a misconception of the purpose of the act.-gadfium 06:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I have moved the article to Child Discipline Act, which is indisputably more accurate than the previous title of "Child Discipline Bill". I believe this move is uncontroversial.-gadfium 05:30, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
