Talk:Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1978)

Requested move 10 March 2024

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus that the spelling difference of Labor vs. Labour would not be sufficiently distinct to justify the use of WP:SMALLDETAILS, and thus that the proposed title would be incomplete disambiguation.

Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1980) → Democratic Labour Party (Australia) – I had the current page name as the suggestion when the split discussion opened like 9 months ago - but @ITBF brought this up, I think it'd be fine and easier if we reverted to the new party name (note that the original DLP never spelt it "Labour") without the year Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 23:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 02:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Comment leaning opposed: That seems like WP:INCOMPLETEDAB relative to Democratic Labor Party (historical). Is the spelling difference actually meaningful? Would people know there was a spelling difference? Apparently both of them used the spelling 'Labor' until 2013. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:00, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Strike-through to switch to simple "opposed" above after seeing further comments. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. I think the spelling difference Labor vs Labour is sufficient disambiguation in this particular instance, and it makes the disambiguator less awkward so that's a win. If we were going to argue about spellings, then arguably the name Democratic Labor Party (historical) would be a more ambiguous case anyway, given that there are several other "historical" parties listed as Democratic Labour Party. Overall this seems all OK to me though. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:59, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose Trivial spelling differences are not sufficient disambiguation. Democratic Labour Party (Australia) should redirect to the disambiguation page Democratic Labour Party. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree with Pppery, that there would not be sufficient disambiguation because of an extra u. TarnishedPathtalk 11:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1980) → Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1978–present) – or. According to the article, the party was founded in 1978, not 1980. The party has continued to exist up to the present time, which may be better described by "1978–present" rather than just 1978 alone. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose, think title is getting way too long there but would support Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1978) Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Support Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1978). We usually just use the year of foundation as a disambiguator for ongoing organisations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No objection to that. My primary question was whether to use 1978 or 1980. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Noli contendere This post was made by orbitalbuzzsaw gang (talk) 23:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as with both Totallynotarandomalt69 and Necrothesp I would support Democratic Labour Party (Australia, 1978) but either of the suggestions in the proposal I don't. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 11:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
