The result of the move request was: merge to Magic. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:23, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Magick (disambiguation) → Magick – Back in August 2013, Magick was moved to Magick (Thelema) as result of this discussion. At that time, the disambiguation page at Magic treated both spellings and Magick (disambiguation) redirected to the "Magic" dab page. In February 2014, shifted all the entries for "Magick" to a separate dab page. However, this effectively orphaned the Magick dab page by making anyone looking for that spelling to go through a roundabout navigation via the entry for Magick (disambiguation) in the See also section of the Magic dab page. Just today, I noticed retargeted the redirect at Magick to point to Magick (disambiguation). While this helped readers looking for the Magick dab page, it 1) created a malplaced disambiguation page and 2) altered the consensus established in the earlier discussion. I'm only proposing this move to resolve those two issues. To be honest, I think an acceptable outcome could also be to merge the Magick dab page back into the Magic page. older ≠ wiser 22:41, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge - given that it is just an alternative spelling, and a stylism to be "olde Englishe" there's no reason to have these 4 music items and 1 esoteric book separate from the rest of the Magic dablist. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:35, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge - "magic" and "magick" are the same thing but (as per In ictu oculi) with an alternate spelling. This title should redirect to Magic as Magic (disambiguation) and Magick both do. Stalwart 111  23:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect Magick to Magic (disambiguation). Someone searching for Magick is probably looking for a proper noun, not straight-up magic. Red Slash 02:36, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait, what? Magic is a disambiguation page?? What?? Okay... Red Slash 02:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, because people searching for "magic" might be looking for Harry Potter magic or they might be looking for Penn & Teller magic or they might be looking for Aleister Crowley magic. Magick (with a "k") has been used as an alternate spelling for each of those. So we disambiguate first and then explain in detail from there. Stalwart 111  03:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge both spellings at "magic" and keep the redirect at "magick" pointed at the disambiguation page -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 03:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge into the disambiguation page, Magic. bd2412  T 17:52, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
