I don't think we should give Stix's opinion much weight (if any weight at all) given that Stix is an open white nationalist best known for his work with the
National Policy Institute.

I don't see how that should necessarily make his views less notable. His article appears to have been published before that organisation was set up. Some identification on him may be appropriate though.

I am not so convinced. If the other The Color of Crime was a movie or an album, I think you'd be right, but it's a publication by Jared Taylor described (in the article) as a monograph and (when I googled it) as a booklet. I think many people might colloquially call such a thing a "book" -- especially if they are looking it up on Wikipedia and don't yet know that it's short. When two books need to be disambiguated from each other (as is the case here), I think the options for further disambiguation are a year, an author last name, or a genre. Genre is the same for both, and I see no reason to prefer author to year. So, I think it works as-is.

Support. The article about
The Color of Crime_(1998 book) also includes coverage of the second edition published in 2008. Disambiguation by date would appear to be overly
precise. While there are two publications called
The Color of Crime, the one by the
New Century Foundation is described as a monograph and the only reason for these titles are now being disambiguated is that a redirect has been created to the section about the monograph. That disambiguation is by the publishing organisation, not author. The article about the book might also benefit from having a hatnote to the other disambiguated articles, to avoid confusion. -

The result of the move request was: not moved. Closed per consensus not to move with reasons if
WP:CONCISE, and
WP:SUBTITLE. The two supports (including the nominator) were bent on
WP:NATURAL and
WP:SUBTITLE while the three opposing !votes opposes the long length and NATURAL when it doesn't go well with
WP:CONCISE. (

Oppose per
WP:CONCISE. The examples Roman Spinner gives are much more concise, and, while
WP:NATURAL states that using the alternative title (in this case, including the subtitle) is sometimes preferred, edge cases like this exist where it would impede practicality. How long is too long is ultimately a matter of editorial judgement, and there is no bright line in cases like this.
