Talk:Long arm

Requested move 17 February 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: moved. Insufficient discussion to determine whether Long arm should be merged with Longarm, but as there was no opposition to that proposal a bold merge may be appropriate. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 05:51, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

The Long Arm → Long arm – Among the five entries listed upon The Long Arm disambiguation page, two do not use "The" and do use a lowercase "a". The main title header "The Long Arm" should redirect to Long arm, rather than the opposite. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Comment Perhaps merge with Longarm? 162 etc. (talk) 17:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, I would support such a merge. No need for two separate dab pages — Long arm and Longarm. Created in December 2009, The Long Arm dab page lists Longarm (disambiguation) and other similar entries under "See also", but the Longarm dab page, created in April 2010, doesn't even have a "See also" section header. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:21, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose The primary topic of both long arm and longarm by both long-term significance and pageviews is long gun. Longarm should instead be moved to Longarm (disambiguation) and this merged into it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:26, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:DABNAME, no need for "The" and if there is a primary topic for the lower case then move to Long Arm.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:21, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:DABNAME, WP:CONCISE, WP:THE, WP:NCCAPS. Just redirect The Long Arm and Long Arm to Long arm; all will be well.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  00:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
