→ Soap John MacTavish – displace edit history, so that the current pagename can repoint to the disambiguation page John McTavish without contribution history problems --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 23:01, 23 May 2015 (UTC) -- – 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:24, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Or move to John (Soap) MacTavish or John MacTavish (Call of Duty)? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * John (Soap) MacTavish or John MacTavish (Call of Duty) are also acceptable; the point is to point the current title to the disambiguation page, while moving the edit history to a viable search term location. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment, after recent (14 May 2015) move, the main article is at Soap MacTavish. GregKaye 05:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment. Just to be clear can you confirm you don't intend to move Soap MacTavish? Zarcadia (talk) 16:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That is correct -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 20:25, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Instead of relisting this again, can we just move it to John MacTavish (Call of Duty) ? I've said I found it acceptable, and it is the least change in the name of the article. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:09, 24 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Questions. Sorry it has taken so long for an admin get to this, but I'm a bit confused by the request. Why not just change the redirect to point to the dab page? Why does the edit history (most of which has been revedeleted as a copyvio) need to be moved anywhere else? Are you planning on doing something else with this title that doesn't involve just having it redirect to John McTavish? Ping me in your response. Jenks24 (talk) 04:16, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it contains a lot of edit history related to the videogame character. So it is better to displace the edit history, and have a clean redirect to the disambiguation page. -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 07:54, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Why? What is the advantage of a "clean redirect"? Jenks24 (talk) 11:44, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No one will be confused by edit history, when examining the edit history, especially considering the edit history on this redirect. -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 04:20, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * To be bluntly honest, this sounds like pointless busywork to me with no tangible benefit. I'll leave this for another closer. To be clear, I'm not opposing. Jenks24 (talk) 08:40, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
