Talk:Saint Joan of Arc School (Evesham Township, New Jersey)

Requested move 19 July 2018

 * 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: Moved to Saint Joan of Arc School (Evesham Township, New Jersey) per Moving a page, and a fresh redirect to St. Joan of Arc School dab page created instead. 65.94's remarks about WP:COMMONALITY notwithstanding, I think that's a bridge too far for this moment.

Saint Joan of Arc School → Saint Joan of Arc School (Evesham Township, New Jersey) – displace edit history to location indicating content. -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 10:09, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Hhkohh (talk) 13:35, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That redirect should be a disambiguation page for St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School, St Joan of Arc Catholic School, Rickmansworth, St. Joan of Arc Secondary School, Hong Kong, etc. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:18, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * There's already a disambiguation page at St. Joan of Arc School (disambiguation), necessitating the move of the edit history. -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 11:10, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not understanding why a redirect needs to be moved? Is the location of the edit history relevant? Why does it matter where it is? --  Alex TW 10:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The edit history was involved in a merge, and the edit history exists on this page. As for the future use, like Celia's comment, should not involve old history of unrelated material. (thus a page deletion or page move) It isn't a simple redirect with irrelevant non-content edit history, as it used to be an article that was merged away. In any case, why is this controversial, at all? It should be a simple move. -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 11:07, 19 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose we do usually not move redirect even there is some page history Hhkohh (talk) 13:38, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per Moving a page: if a redirect page has to be evacuated (for example, to reuse its title), but contains a valuable edit history, then it should be moved. If this were done WP:BOLDly instead of using WP:RM it wouldn't be controversial at all. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:07, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no indication that this redirect needs to be reused. As pointed out above, there is already a disambiguation page. Dekimasu よ! 15:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It is literally being reused. It is being used for a different topic. And it is also a likely location to locate the disambiguation page (WP:COMMONALITY), since it is dialect neutral, not favouring British or American spelling (the fullstop is missing in British, but used in American) -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 04:38, 20 July 2018 (UTC)


 * By Articles for deletion/Saint Joan of Arc School, the contents were merged into Evesham Township, New Jersey by MelanieN, although not entirely kosher per WP:FMERGE, as she failed to provide a wikilink to the original (there is a merged-from on its talk page though). On 19 July, rightfully redirected it to the main dab page, but that left the history detached from the township article. Now, if the proposal is just to move the redirect and redirect it back to Evesham Township to somehow keep track of its history, I find it entirely uncontroversial.
