Move?

The result of the move request was: page moved to Spare Parts (disambiguation) by another editor, because that title fits the content. This move request is therefore moot. - GTBacchus(talk) 20:52, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 * No reason provided by IP address that suggested this move. I have no idea why they did it. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I suggested the move because this is a disambig page, and a real article on spare part can't be developed while the page is tagged as disambig, so we need to make room. 70.247.169.197 (talk) 04:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Agree with user above. &asymp; Prometheus  «talk» 11:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Query. What would be the focus of a "real article" on Spare part? Rob Sinden (talk) 14:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * See some of the ideas mentioned below, which are just notional ideas. There's really a ton of things that can be said.  Spare parts constitute a multi-billion dollar investment for the military, so naturally, there's much to be said about what they are and what their role is in logistics and logistics management.  70.247.169.197 (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose on face value, unless further information can be given regarding what should be developed on the Spare part page. Rob Sinden (talk) 14:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * There are several ideas that can be developed, including:
 * relation to obvious things like auto parts
 * relation to logistics management, especially military logistics
 * measurements of logistics performance
 * decision-making processes to optimize distribution
 * etc.
 * There's really a lot to be said. 70.247.169.197 (talk) 19:49, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. If you want to write an article about another meaning of "spare part", you're free to write that article at some other title, such as Spare part (inventory), and then it could be discussed whether to move the disambiguation page so that the new article could be located here. But it makes no sense to move the disambiguation page without an existing article to put in its place. Propaniac (talk) 19:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * On further examination, the disambiguation page should obviously be at Spare Parts or Spare Parts (disambiguation), and not Spare part, because every usage is for something titled "Spare Parts". I guess Spare part should redirect to the dab page, though. Propaniac (talk) 19:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * After cleaning up the page, it was so clear that there was no reason for this page to be at Spare part that I assumed it wouldn't be disruptive to move it, and did so. I hope that doesn't cause any trouble. I recommend closing the RM, since if anyone wants to write an article about the generic meaning of "Spare part" they are now free to do so.
