Spires → Spires (disambiguation) – The clear primary topic of "spires" is spire. Other topics on the disambiguation page are comparatively obscure. SPIRES is distinguished by being an all-caps acronym; Speyer is a different spelling; The Spires (besides having a leading "The") merely redirects to Church House (Presbyterian Church in Ireland). There are, of course, topics missing from the page, namely a handful of buildings, and some people with the surname Spires, but those are equally obscure. Move this page to redirect "spires" to spire. bd2412 T 04:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: I have add all the missing senses that I could find. Spire still predominates over all of them, though. bd2412  T 17:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose – It seems more likely that a person entering the plural is looking for one of these many other meanings. Dicklyon (talk) 00:59, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Not according to the page views |Spire|The_Spires_Shopping_Centre|The_Spires_College|The_Spires_(Houston)|The_Spires_(Tasmania)|SPIRES|Spires_Academy|Oxford_Spires_Academy|Saint_Mary_Spires for institutions and |Spire|Arthur_%22Big_Boy%22_Spires|Elizabeth_Spires|Greg_Spires|Jamie_Spires|Kit_Spires for people. Spire gets about ten times as many views as all other meanings combined. Also, there are literally thousands of articles in Wikipedia which mention "spires" in reference to the architectural sense, encompassing virtually every use of the term in the encyclopedia. bd2412  T 01:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Support – the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for spires is the singular spire, an architectural feature. Move per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT.  CookieMonster755   𝚨-𝛀    04:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
