The result of the move request was: procedural close, since the page that the proposer intended to be moved was not the dab page that is hosting the move request, but other editors have responded to the proposal as a request to move the dab.

Para Commandos → Para (Special Forces) – 'Para Commandos' are currently referred to as 'Para (Special Forces)' and sometimes 'Para-SF', something which is reflected in the Parachute Regiment (India) article and what I believe is the Parachute Regiments official website, along with articles like these:, , – Myopia123 (talk) 02:12, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Better discuss this move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose, its a disambiguation page related to Para Commandos (India) etc. If these pages were to be moved to the likes of Para troopers (India) then a heading with a main article link could be simply added into the Paratroopers article.
 * otherwise suggest Paras (Special Forces). Some things are better left pluralised.  Parachute troopers (or commandos) don't tend to work alone.  Other plurals in Wikipedia include Varicose veins and, quite literally, English plurals.  searching paras gets results for UK parachute regiment.  I didn't search through to find refs for the belgium or Indian forces.  para also gets results for prefixes.  Gregkaye  ✍ ♪  08:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose this is not an Indian Military article, the nominator's rational has no bearing on this article -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:00, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I apologise for the incorrect link at the top. Para Commandos (India) is about the Special Forces of the Parachute Regiment. They used to be refferred to as 'Para Commandos' but are now referred to as Para Special Forces. The pictures in the article are of Para Special Forces personnel(9 Para Battalion). 'Para Commandos' no longer exist in the Indian Army. They are all 'Para Special Forces'. I am stating fact here. This is a purely technical matter.Myopia123 (talk) 15:52, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Please make sure you have checked the links I have provided in the top post first.Myopia123 (talk) 15:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Something is wrong here. I am pretty sure in my original request, it was for Para Commandos (India) but the move being discussed is for Para Commandos. I apologise if it is my fault but there has clearly been a mis-communication somewhere up the road.Myopia123 (talk) 15:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
