Talk:Andover

Currently, Andover, Hampshire redirects to Andover and the disambiguation page is located at Andover (disambiguation). This does not seem to meet the page naming guidelines, which state that "...where there is no...consensus, disambiguation pages are named after the topic itself..." If you do a google search of "Andover", the first page of results contains a whole plethora of references to towns called "Andover" in Massachussets, Kansas, Minnesota, and Hampshire, as well as a college in Maine, two software websites, the Andover, MA town newspaper, "The Andover Shop" and Phillips Academy Andover. In short, there's nothing to suggest that Andover, Hampshire is the dominant use of "Andover," and thusly And though i know Google is not the authority on the subject, i think the results are quite telling: no single usage dominates. I propose a move of Andover (disambiguation) Andover and a move of Andover to one of the above mentioned specific sites. Agreement? Disagreement?

Agree with you totally, Jfg284, but it would now make logical sense for Andover (disambiguation) to be located at Andover, rather than relying on the redirect the other way round. I can't change it since Andover has had prior edits, so I've listed it for an admin to move... └UkPaolo/TALK┐ 19:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, moved. WhiteNight T 20:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

This move was reverted with the rationale oldest takes precedence, which does not seem to be supported by and policy. I propsed this move again. 82.83.56.192 21:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Per the conensus above, the disambiguation page is at Andover, and the article on the hampshire town is at Andover, Hampshire. I have reverted the recent reversal of this, since it was done without consensus. The moving of the disambiguation page to Andover was discussed above, and consensus obtained. Please discuss (and gather consensus for) any reversal of this here, prior to moving pages └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
