The result was   Wrong forum. This isn't a deletion request, as the proposal can be implemented with normal editing tools. But what discussion there is supports this proposal, and it appears to be the correct way to proceed to me also.  Sandstein  10:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

History from below

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per Naming conventions (capitalization), the appropriate solution for this WP:TWODABS page is to delete the current content, redirect to the meaning that matches the lowercase version (people's history), and add a hatnote there to point to the capitalized album title. Having just finished the disambiguation of incoming links, all links spelled with lowercase letters were intended for the concept in historiography, and not the album. bd2412 T 02:06, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to History From Below; hatnote to People's history is already there. Did this need to come to AfD? This seems to me to be a reasonable WP:BOLD edit. Ivanvector (talk) 05:09, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * My proposal is actually the opposite of that. The album is on the borderline of being notable at all, while the concept in historiography is highly notable, and is therefore the primary topic of the term. As evidence of this, a Google Books search for "history from below" returns 210,000 hits, in which the album is not to be found at all. Searching specifically for "history from below" and "album" returns less than 300 hits, but most of those are still about the concept in historiography, referencing how it uses things like "family photo albums" as a source of information. Searching for "history from below" and "Delta Spirit" returns fewer than 30 results. If the topics were not already distinguished by the difference in capitalization, the album would need to be moved to "History from Below (album)". Cheers! bd2412  T 16:13, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. You're right, that is better. Still, I don't think this would have been controversial if you had just done it rather than going through AfD. Ivanvector (talk) 16:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The title has already gone through several such changes in the past. Having a discussion to reach consensus for a particular solution will prevent further changes from being made without further discussion. bd2412  T 17:32, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to People's history per nom. No need for a dab page when the primary topic is this clear. SteveStrummer (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
