- Oppose - Related pages use the term without '-ing". Also, what are the hashtags for? Meatsgains (talk) 18:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

– The dictionary definition of sniffling is "to sniff repeatedly", and some of the content of the current article (including the lead) is in terms of a single sniff. The article may read better with the more formal "sniff" as its subject. Belbury (talk) 08:38, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: pages with content, such as Sniff, are ineligible to be new titles in move requests unless they, too, are dispositioned. Sniff → Sniff (disambiguation) has been added to this request to meet that requirement. Also, note that for this request to succeed, "Sniffle" must be the PRIMARYTOPIC for "Sniff". P.I.

- Oppose - if any topic is primary for sniff, it'd be the meaning associated with olfaction. Things are unambiguous as they are. -- Netoholic @ 03:50, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- I hadn't considered the primary topic (the addition to move Sniff to a disambiguation page was a clarification added by another editor) or felt any concerns about ambiguity, this was just that "sniffle" seemed an informal and rather childish title.
- I now see there's actually a whole article about olfactory inhalation at Sniffing (behavior), which isn't linked from the current sniff disambiguation page. Perhaps "sniffle" is the simplest way to distinguish this article from that one after all. Belbury (talk) 07:46, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ah yeah that's a big miss. I'll add a "See also" section to the Sniff dab. Looking at Sniffing, Sniffing (behavior) seems like it should be moved to primary. As to this article, would it perhaps be better titled as Sniffling? -- Netoholic @ 14:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose - I don't think there's a clear primary topic for "sniff", but if there was one, it would NOT be "sniffling". Sniffling involves the process of sniffing, but they're not synonyms. Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose - the two words really aren't synonyms Red Slash 00:57, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
