Talk:Control deck (Magic: The Gathering)

Article name
I would suggest renaming it to something like Magic: the Gathering Control deck, reason being that control deck is a way broader concept, i.e. many different card games have it, including but not limited to Hearthstone or Gwent. And it's pretty much the same concept across the games so it probably deserves it's own article, not limited to just one game. --Nomad (talk) 12:13, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to Control deck (Magic: The Gathering). Consensus that this topic isn't the primary topic of "Control deck". The redirect at "Control deck" will be pointed to NES article as well.

Control deck → Magic: the Gathering control deck – I see no evidence the Magic: The Gathering deck is the primary topic for this term over the other entries mention in the hatnote. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:59, 18 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Is there any evidence that this control deck is specifically known by the proposed term because if not, we may need to use Control deck (Magic: the Gathering) instead.--67.70.101.104 (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * No objection to that, but my proposed title (less a miscapitalization) was suggested in the previous section. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:30, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment This article is barely sourced at all, and should probably be merged to Magic: The Gathering deck types. 162 etc. (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support this merge—blindlynx 21:28, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Alternate move to Control deck (Magic: The Gathering) and preferably redirect immediately after due to WP:NOT violations. Redirect Control deck to Nintendo Entertainment System as a primary redirect. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. Clearly not the primary topic. J I P  &#124; Talk 21:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Why use lowercase for "the"? The main article about the game has uppercase "The". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
