Requested move 11 January 2019

 * 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: No consensus. I had relisted but nom requested a n/c close because the discussion had gotten so muddled. I concur. (non-admin closure) В²C ☎ 01:51, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Junker Schools → SS-Junker School – Per WP:COMMONNAME and to add disambiguation to "SS", I think in this case it makes more sense to go with the German-language term, as Junker school (singular) redirects to Junker (Russia). K.e.coffman (talk) 06:58, 11 January 2019 (UTC) Updated to "SS-Junker School". Please see Google books preview. I believe that it should be singular, as the article describes a type of institution. -- K.e.coffman (talk) 19:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. В²C ☎ 00:48, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no strong option as to the change. Another thought would be: "SS-Junker Schools" with a redirect from SS-Junkerschule. What do you guys think, K.e. and . Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 16:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Greetings folks--I think Kierzek's solution makes the most sense, as this really was an SS entity after all. --Obenritter (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:USEENGLISH. Rreagan007 (talk) 08:52, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Concur with changes recommended by Kierzek. --Obenritter (talk) 01:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The suggestion I was originally aiming for was "SS-Junkerschulen" (with a disambig), but "SS-Junker School" should be acceptable. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As the original creator of this page and its principle author, I say make it so brother. Shouldn't it be plural "SS-Junker Schools" since there were several? Nice catch on this BTW! --Obenritter (talk) 01:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * for the updated proposal to SS-Junker School. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose SS-Junker School but hereby Concur with SS-Junker Schools --Obenritter (talk) 19:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose, SS-Junker School, as there was more than one such school; and given there was more than one, it should be plural, and will agree to that. Kierzek (talk) 20:39, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose, SS-Junker School, as there was more than one such school; and given there was more than one, it should be plural, and will agree to that. Kierzek (talk) 20:39, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * should this be SS-Junker schools (uncap for "schools") then? K.e.coffman (talk) 00:03, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe so, K.e. As you raise the point that the article is about more than a specific one. Kierzek (talk) 14:39, 15 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose current proposal, but would support original proposal or SS-Junker schools (lower case). All English forms seem to me a little ambiguous as to whether we are talking about Junker schools of the SS or schools for SS-Junkers (not that it makes a big difference but the ambiguity makes the term hard to parse). As an aside, we need a dab page for this usage and the Russian usage and where all ambiguous forms should redirect. Srnec (talk) 14:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support the change to: SS-Junker schools
 * Support the change to: SS-Junker schools


 * Oppose. Unnecessary disambiguation. But would support a move to per wp:plural. A hatnote to the section at Junker (Russia) will do for now; The whole constellation of articles needs work, with some of the content of that latter article more properly at Junker (disambiguation). Andrewa (talk) 08:49, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Since "Junker school" is ambiguous... how is disambiguation unnecessary? SS-Junker is a common name for this rank, so SS-Junker school disambiguates it fine. Google "Junker school" and you will mostly get Tsarist results. Srnec (talk) 13:52, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I hear what you're saying... and in the fullness of time this disambiguation will probably prove necessary, as you say. But for now, there is no article on these other Junker schools. Junker (Russia) is a mess, not really a BCA but certainly not a DAB, and should perhaps be refocussed and renamed to be an article on the Tsarist schools, moving other material to Junker and Junker (disambiguation) which its current focus duplicates. Then we can see about this one. Andrewa (talk) 17:36, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Would you mind closing this as "no consensus". I think it got too muddled. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:36, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay. I had considered that, but then decided to give you guys a chance to unmuddle it with a relist. But if you're requesting a no consensus close, that make sense to me.  Will do. Thanks. --В²C ☎ 01:50, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Should be changed to SS-Junker Schools
I see the "Requested move 11 January 2019", above, has been closed as no consensus. However, I submit that the article title really should be changed (moved) to reflect what they were, SS-Junker Schools (SS officer training and Nazi indoctrination schools). With a redirect from SS-Junkerschule. What say you guys. Kierzek (talk) 14:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * * Support—As the original author/creator of this article, I regret not titling this as SS-Junker Schools. However, we can rectify this.--Obenritter (talk) 21:22, 23 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. Srnec (talk) 01:16, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I see three supports for this move plus the nominator of that RM above against only one clear oppose (the other oppose being for an earlier and different proposal). So, I have boldly moved the article. I'd prefer a lower case S, but the clear consensus is only for adding SS- on the front. Srnec (talk) 01:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * List at WP:RM, please. Given the recent no consensus close, this definitely qualifies as a potentially controversial move and the proposal must be listed at RM for any decision reached to be considered as legitimate. Listing directions are provided there. —В²C ☎ 05:44, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Ranks table
Preserving here by providing this link; my rationale was: "unneeded ranks table -- these are general SS ranks, not specific to the SS-Junkerschulen". --K.e.coffman (talk) 17:45, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a good solution to another useless Nazi ranks glorification table. Thanks --Obenritter (talk) 20:33, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
