The result of the move request was: withdrawn. I thought that Migration wasn't a disambiguation page when I started this discussion, but maybe it was. Either way, at the present time, I can no longer support my own move proposal. Steel1943 (talk) 14:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I don't see how Migration is a likelier target for "migrant" than Immigration, Emigration, and especially Migrant workers, who are often actually called "migrants". Not to mention the one WP topic actually called "Migrant". Dohn joe (talk) 14:04, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I wonder too about the move as "migrant" often refers to migrant workers in American English. Any evidence for the primary topic claim?  —  AjaxSmack   14:33, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose I don't think there's a primary topic either. There's nomads (who follow animal migration patterns, as pastoralists, etc), migrant workers, immigrants, emigrants. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:29, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


 * NOTE Migration is not an article, it's a disambiguation page. The unreferenced article content was added in September incorrectly, and was removed also in September. One could split off the former article-type content into a separate migration article, but the disambiguation page at the target would seem to make moving this disambiguation page a big superfluous -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
