Requested move 21 March 2022[edit]

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Impalement (disambiguation). Three points:

There is unanimous consensus that Impale ought to be a primary redirect to Impalement.
Most editors did not make an argument as to whether the dab page should be moved to Impale (disambiguation) or Impalement (disambiguation), but those who did favored the latter, so I've moved it there. See also WP:DABNAME. If there's a desire to discuss this further, feel free to start a follow-up RM.
Similarly, most editors did not address the alternative suggestion to eliminate the disambiguation page altogether. There's no consensus on that issue in this discussion; feel free to start an AfD if you'd like to discuss it further.

Impale → Impale (disambiguation) – I'm pretty confident that Impalement is the primary topic for the same reason it's at a base title. Impaling also redirects to that title. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 09:28, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A simple redirect of this page to Impalement shall do the trick, per WP:THREEDABS. There's no need to move it anywhere, or furthermore to even have it exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:01, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Most meanings on the page reference the torture method (the band invokes it intentionally, the illusion simulates it). BD2412 T 04:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Impalement does look like a primary topic for "Impale", but Impaled should still redirect to a dab page: it's the actual proper name of the illusion and of the band, and like with other past participle forms, it's not very plausible that it would be used by readers searching for the article on impalement. – Uanfala (talk) 20:24, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:21, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ. There are five entries listed upon the Impale disambiguation page and not a single one of those uses the exact term "impale". If consensus develops that there needs to be a disambiguation page, it should stem from the main entry — Impalement (disambiguation) — not from a redirect. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:10, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer the proposed title over the current title, but I think a move to Impalement (disambiguation) would be preferable to either, as "impalement" is the form used by the primary article and several of the other linked pages. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 17:07, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support redirect. Clear primary redirect. Move this page to Impalement (disambiguation). -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:45, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
