Talk:Middle Rocks

Name
I wonder whether this article should be named Batuan Tengah or Middle Rocks. Any comment? __earth (Talk) 13:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Why the name "Middle Rocks, Johor"? There is no other article called "Middle Rocks". — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 17:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I am formally proposing that this article be renamed from "Middle Rocks, Johor" to "Middle Rocks". I feel adding "Johor" to the article name is unnecessary as there is no other article named "Middle Rocks", nor does there appear to be such a place anywhere else in the world. Do weigh in with your comments so that consensus can be reached on the issue. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 09:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Jpatokal (talk) 13:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. With no other "Middle Rocks" article, the disambiguation is not necessary.--Huaiwei (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

There is at least one other Middle Rocks, see http://www.thecrag.com/CRAGS/MiddleRocks-262996.html for some information, but clearly less notable than this one IMO. Andrewa (talk) 09:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Middle Rocks, Johor, Malaysia → Middle Rocks — Very recent bad move to the current title. There is no need to disambiguate this page, and per Article titles it should not be this precise, and it should be concise. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 12:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:


 * Oppose. "Middle Rocks" alone is too indefinite a name: there are many rocks which are in the middle of things. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * How many of them are called "Middle Rocks"? It's the proper name of the rocks in question, even in international forums. This is the ICJ case. I googled "Middle Rocks", and only got hits for these rocks. Yes it's a bad name, but so is North Sea. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 15:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Per previous discussion. There is only one article on "Middle Rocks" on wikipedia, so there is no need to disambiguate. I didnt see this discussion earlier so i went ahead to make a move request here: Requested_moves. I thought it was an uncontroversial move request because this page was moved without any discussion and because I thought the guidelines are clear. Maybe I should retract that request? ќמшמφטтгמ torque 16:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, didn't know that you had. I didn't list it as speedy because someone had moved it, and I'm not sure a revert is considered speedy. Not sure what the procedure is, maybe note another editor opened an RM? Apologies again. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
