– I'm currently rather neutral on these page moves, but this is the direction the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music#While we have your attention... "D" or "D."? seems to be heading. Just trying to make sure we won't have to move these pages again anywhere soon — and, when there's a consensus to move, I'll take it upon myself to update Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music)#Compositions (classical music) accordingly.

  • I think there are more pressing issues in the classical music section of Wikipedia than removing the dot after a catalogue abbreviation, something which is not universally seen. Also, making this request before the mentioned discussion has concluded seems to me to increase the risk of further moves. Ad rem: I think Deutsch numbers without a dot are a good thing, and to that extent I support the proposal. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:08, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support the addition of the comma ("D major D" must look strange to someone who knows other meanings of "major", and I support the removal of the dot, as consistent with BWV and others. I would not need Schubert but won't fight for that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support for consistency regarding use or omission of comma, and I agree with Gerda about "D major D". I think many readers will be helped by "(Schubert)", so strong support for this. --Stfg (talk) 14:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the removal of the dot, to have the format in Wikipedia coincide with that set forth by authorities in Tübingen/Vienna - Neue Schubert-Ausgabe. And also support the addition of a comma before the listing of the Deustch number for added clarity in the title. Solti79 (talk) 17:52, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
