The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Support per
WP:SMALLDETAILS. Especially because this is the only topic on the disambiguation page
Poot named "Poot", and because someone typing in a "!" very likely knows it belongs to this topic.

Oppose. A google search with an exclamation mark returns the same results as without it, therefore people looking for the Wikipedia entry on the comic would use the comic term to find it.

@
In ictu oculi: Nope, I'm neutral on this move. The alternative to this would to be to create
Poot! as a redirect to
Poot. I really don't have any evidence or any care either way, but I do believe that one of these needs to be done since
Poot! is currently nonexistent.

Support Exclamation mark is sufficient disambiguation, per
User:Dohn joe's argument above. Furthermore, the additional parenthetical is unnecessary, redundant, and extraneous: even without the parenthetical, the disambiguation page contains a descriptor phrase identifying the subject as a comic. Someone attempting to find this Wikipedia article via a search engine using the two words "ping" "comic" or "ping" "comics" would be led here regardless of whether the parenthetical is present since search engines also take into account page text rather than just the article title. And finally, that searching for "!" cannot be done in Google Books is irrelevant, as ability to search out the subject in Google Books does not impact ability to find this article in Wikipedia, which is what disambiguation in Wikipedia is concerned with. —
