Requested move 24 June 2022[edit]

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. Comic strip evidenced to not be the primary topic for the plural, not even significant enough for the hatnote treatment. Redirected base name to Mullet as also suggested. (closed by non-admin page mover)Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 04:14, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]


MulletsMullets (comic strip) – Was moved in 2013 to an undisambiguated name. However, I believe there is WP:NOPRIMARY for "mullets" and it should be redirected to mullet. This page is not prominent enough to make it a clear primary topic for the plural form of the word. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 03:22, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support No evidence that someone typing mullets is looking for the short lived comic strip. In fact according to the article the name for the comic came from the hairstyle.--70.24.251.91 (talk) 04:14, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. No clear primary topic for the article title "Mullets" — and if there was, it probably isn't the short-lived comic strip. So, the safest bet is to have "Mullets" be a redirect to the "Mullet" disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 04:35, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support Mullet (haircut) has 16,988 views, Mullet (fish) has 8,859, The Mullets has 277 compared with only 34[[1]] for the comic strip and the "short lived" comic strip clearly isn't primary by long-terms significance and is named after the haircut.

  • Support per nominator. "Mullets" is not recognisable enough for this comic strip to be the primary topic for the plural form, unlike for example the case of transformer (electrical device) vs. Transformers (toyline and fiction about shapeshifting robots).

False positive for linking to disambiguation page[edit]

@JaGa I think this move is somehow causing a false positive for links to the disambiguation page, Mullet. For the record, I don't disagree with the move at all, but am just worried that if I remove {{dablinks}}, DPL Bot will "helpfully" put it back. Blocking DPL bot from editing the page should be a last resort, in my opinion; do you, the bot operator, have any other ideas? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:05, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
