The result of the move request was: moved to Elymus (mythology). SST flyer  14:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

– The Aeneid character doesn't appear to be the primary topic. The plant genus Elymus gets |Elymus_(genus)|Elymus_(disambiguation) four times as many page views as the Aeneid character at the base title (though both get barely any views in the grand scheme of things). Elymus was a disambiguation page from 2003 until 2010. A significant portion of incoming links intend the plant genus (and perhaps the majority of incoming links that aren't coming through mythology navigation templates).

 * Elymus → Elymus (Aeneid)
 * Elymus (disambiguation) → Elymus


 * Support with one change: the new article name should be Elymus (Trojan); the Aeneid is not the only place he shows up, so the broader topic is more appropriate. Also, check out this filter to screen out links from a navbox. Very useful. — Gorthian (talk) 00:14, 13 September 2016 (UTC)


 * What do you think about Elymus (son of Anchises)? I wasn't sure what disambiguatory term to suggest; the standard (mythology) is out as there is another mythological Elymus listed on the dab page. Looking at Category:Characters in the Aeneid was where I got the idea for "(Aeneid)", but there's also a "(son of Evander)" dab term there. "(Trojan)" is fine with me, but I don't know if there's any standard for disambiguating mythological characters when "(mythology)" is imprecise. Thanks for pointing out the navbox link filter.

 * Elymus (mythology) is definitely possible. The only page that mentions the "other" Elymus is the set index page Gorge (mythology)—way too obscure to have a separate article. I'm thinking that a hatnote on the plant article pointing to Elymus (mythology) is all that will be needed. I'll wait till this move is done (or not), then either prod Elymus (disambiguation) or take it to AFD. — Gorthian (talk) 22:14, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Support Elymus (mythology). That seems the best dab solution.Cúchullain t/ c 22:03, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
