Car Prowling redirects to this article. This means a description for car prowling is needed to separate it from basic car theft. Car Prowling is not necessarily theft of the vehicle.

Why in this order and not "grand auto theft"?? --46.114.36.222 (talk) 05:44, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I, not being a native English speaker, want add to this question: why not even just "grand car theft"? --2003:DE:F23:9500:7C0C:91E1:F7B4:E6F8 (talk) 18:24, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. WP:SNOW. Universal opposition. Withdrawing request. (non-admin closure) Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 23:43, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Motor vehicle theft → Grand theft auto
• Grand theft auto → Grand theft auto (disambiguation)

– The ngram here indicates a higher appearance of "Grand theft auto" compared to "Motor vehicle theft". If a viewer wants to see the article about the game, we could put a hatnote on the article "Grand theft auto" after it is moved. Sound good? Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose -- no it doesn't sound good. One phrase refers to the broad topic area, the other is a referencing an associated criminal/legal term used only in some regions. These are not equivalent or interchangeable terms, and cannot be compared numerically in the way you are attempting - especially since your search results are corrupted by the popular video game. -- Netoholic @ 01:03, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Is there evidence that this article would actually be the primary topic for the phrase "Grand theft auto" when compared to the popular Grand Theft Auto video game series? I do not see it from the pageviews. Therefore, I would prefer to keep the status quo of the natural disambiguation title. Zzyzx11 (talk) 01:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose creating a problem from a solution In ictu oculi (talk) 08:39, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per reasoning of other and even though this is currently a US-centric article. It should become a worldview article, per the top note, in which case "Grand theft auto" would not be suitable at all once expanded. ww2censor (talk) 09:46, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• If we just add some of the other incoming redirects to the ngrams -- https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Motor+vehicle+theft%2CGrand+theft+auto%2CAuto+theft%2CCar+theft%2CVehicle+theft&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&case_insensitive=on&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 -- it doesn't look like there's anything useful to do here. --Joy (talk) 10:01, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose—I think in ictu oculi said it best: you're creating a problem from a solution. 〜 Festucalex • talk 10:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
