Requested move 21 April 2025

{{requested move/dated|Cheese alternative}}

:Cheese analogue → {{no redirect|Cheese alternative}} – The article itself says "more widely known as cheese alternatives", so surely per WP:COMMONNAME the article should be called that too? But I figured I'd give chance for a discussion, since there could be good reasoning for the current name. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 21:47, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:Support per COMMONNAME (see [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=cheese+analogue%2Ccheese+alternative%2Ccheese+substitute%2Cfake+cheese&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3 Ngram]) and because at least [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0958694601000735?via%3Dihub#:~:text=Cheese%20substitutes%20and,certain%20disadvantages%20in one source] defines cheese analogue as a narrower subset of the the broader category of cheese substitutes or imitates whereas this article discusses the broad category. I'm not sure that this usage distinction is universal but I found a few other sources online that support a narrower meaning of cheese analogue.[https://cheesepopfoodgroup.com/products-and-packaging/analogue-cheese/][https://worldchefs.org/healthy-and-functional-palm-based-cheese-analogue/] --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 01:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
