The result of the move request was: Not Moved - Not much to toil over here Mike Cline (talk) 11:10, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

– Wikipedia already has an article on manual labour which toil should really redirect to. A non-charting 2012 punk album is not the absolute majority meaning of "toil" in reliable sources. Alternatively move the dab to baseline, which is a quick flick for mobile phone users. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:40, 20 October 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 06:06, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Toil → Toil (album)
 * Toil (disambiguation) → Toil
 * Oppose. "Toil" is not the same as manual labor by a long shot. This is a WP:GOODARTICLE, and there is no evidence that it is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for topics called "Toil". Dohn joe (talk) 13:48, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a good article, lovingly crafted by a fan of Chicago Celtic punk band Flatfoot 56, that's great. But that doesn't earn loss of (album). Wikipedia cannot distinguish initial capitals: and in the real world "toil" is clearly the primary topic for "toil" small t. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:56, 20 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Support disambiguation page should be a base location; being a good article has nothing to do with being at the base location -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose and comment. This is the primary, and only, topic of this title. I just deleted the dab page per WP:G6, as it was a dab page with only one link, this one. There are no other articles titled Toil, or that cover anything called "Toil". Further, Wikipedia is not a dictionary and so it doesn't need to cover the dictionary definition of the word "toil". I can undelete the dab page if there are objections, but it seems unlikely any topics will be identified to be listed on it. Dab pages are for directing readers to information they're seeking by listing out ambiguous titles, not related concepts.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I undeleted the dab page until the discussion wraps up.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:41, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. If the discussion closes as not moved, the new stub Toil (concept) can be linked from a hat note; the dab page is still not needed. It's also worth looking at whether the "concept" should be a standalone article or if the content should be merged somewhere appropriate.--Cúchullain t/ c 16:35, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * User:Cuchullain what has whether a topic covered in Wikipedia is standalone or not got to do with WP:DISAMBIGUATION. What percentage of the Google Books hits for "toil" refer to a non-charting album by a Chicago Celtic punk band? In what way is this album of more encyclopaedic importance than the idea or toil itself? In what way are fans of Celtic punk music disadvantaged by (album) being on an album article? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:30, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like a COATRACK to me -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  02:01, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, and a WP:PERMASTUB as well unless it's merged.
 * In ictu oculi: the answer is the same as usual. When there's only one real article with that title, or covering a subject of that title, we shouldn't throw obstacles in our readers' way. The goal is to get readers to the content they want in the quickest fashion, and here there are no other real ambiguous articles causing confusion. I'm sorry, but your Toil (concept) article is a stretch.--Cúchullain t/ c 14:47, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * But how exactly do we know that everyone who inputs "toil" and ends up at Guerillero's excellent article contribution were looking for a non-2012 punk album? Is it not possible that some of this non-charting 2012 punk album's hits include people who weren't looking for it? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:04, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a moot point if there are no other articles to direct them to anyway. If they want a dictionary definition of the word "toil", a link to Wiktionary is included. This proposal would throw an obstacle in the way of readers for the benefit of no one.--Cúchullain t/ c 14:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose Wikipedia is not a dictionary and is not bound by the dictionary definition of the word. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  00:06, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Cuchullain. Manual labour is not the primary topic for "toil". sst✈ 09:36, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Request for relisting : I honestly believe that toil (concept) is simply another word for manual labour, however since manual labour as an article does not have anything about the philosophy of the virtue of work, dignity of labour - either in Greek Cynic terms of the concept of toil, nor in Christian/Jewish concepts of toil as virtue or consequence of Adam's fall, I have created a philosophy article at toil (concept) : to get past the tiresome "Wikipedia's editors haven't covered it so it doesn't exist" argument. That will not affect the view of some editors I know. But it does justify relisting. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Guerillero et al.  Calidum  
 * Relisting comment. I think the chances of this RM gaining a consensus to move are very slim, but no harm in relisting per the nom's request. Jenks24 (talk) 06:06, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose As others have said: barring the dictionary definition (which is on Wiktionary), this is the primary topic. clpo13(talk) 06:19, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:ASTONISH. If I typed in "toil" into the search engine, I would expect a disambig page of some description. I don't think most people would think of the album as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this term. And having "Toil" as the disambig page would make it easy to spot incorrect incoming links too.

 *  Oppose move -Hatnotes will serve the same purpose as a dab page. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:11, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
