Talk:Order of Saint Nicholas

Requested move 12 January 2017

 * 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. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Clear consensus that the Melkite Greek is not the primary topic. There may be consensus for a merger of disambiguation pages (or even deletion of both), but since the other dab page was not listed here, this discussion can take no action on that proposal.

Order of Saint Nicholas → Order of Saint Nicholas (disambiguation) – To make room for the sole with the exact name Order of Saint Nicholas. Chicbyaccident (talk) 19:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. --  Dane talk  23:10, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Order of Saint Nicholas (Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Newton) → Order of Saint Nicholas – Since none other of that exact name seem to exist. Chicbyaccident (talk) 19:10, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Procedural oppose There are two separate RMs, one at each end. Multi-article proposals should be combined. Timrollpickering 19:31, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Resolved: I've merged the nominations and closed the redundant one.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:04, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Survey
Note: I have repaired the messed up move stuff that went on earlier; the article with the long name had been mistakenly moved to the "(disambiguation)" title, which now properly redirects to the DAB page. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:13, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Support second move, but just delete the disambiguation page: Per WP:TWODABS we do not use disambiguations pages, just hatnotes, when there are only two competing articles. Support the shortening move, per WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME and per WP:PRIMARY. The other item on the DAB page is itself another DAB page, so that can't qualify as the primary topic.
 * Oppose. Fine as is. The Melkite order is pretty obscure and not a primary topic by any means. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:37, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose and merge and redirect the DAB at Order of Saint Nicholas Thaumaturgus into this one as proposed elsewhere. We're a general encyclopedia, and this hierarchy of DABS may make sense to some specialists I guess, but it doesn't help the general reader one bit, pure and pointless overhead.

 * Oppose and merge the other disambig as Andrewa suggests. Dicklyon (talk) 02:58, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Order of Saint Nicholas mess

 * (Moved from personal account's talk page)

I repaired it for you, and also merged the move nominations into a proper multi-page nomination. You don't need to ever do anything to "make way for the renaming". The entire purpose of WP:RM discussions is to determine by consensus whether there should be any such renaming to begin with. This took a fair amount of editorial time and effort to sort out (and it could have all just been procedurally shut down as too messy to deal with). I suggest participating as an observer and commenter in more RMs, reading the instructions at WP:RM carefully, and also reading those at Template:Rm, before nominating any more moves. :-/  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:23, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Order of Saint Nicholas Thaumaturgus into Order of Saint Nicholas
This issue was touched on but not resolved during the now-closed move discussions.
 * Support. Only five articles in total, having two DAB pages is needless complication.
 * Pinging contributors to those now-closed move discussions. Narky Blert (talk) 12:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support. Seems a no-brainer to me. Thanks for the ping. Andrewa (talk) 05:33, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Seems reasonable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:47, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Definitely. Just make sure the longer name redirects to the short one, in case people search for the full name.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:20, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
