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)
