 * Delete as the other "topic" of the disambiguation I hit up below. Copying off of mine? Eh, at least you paraphrased.... Tavix (talk) 00:49, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorta... Take it as a compliment ;-) Killiondude (talk) 01:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete only one topic. Versus22 talk 08:22, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete this used to be a dab page, but there is only one thing with this name; the film has a different title. Use a dabhat or similar if confusion is likely. --Rogerb67 (talk) 22:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Prove to me that both of them are known as "Alex Haley's Queen". Tavix (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The second is obvious; the first appears to be supported by 1980 Google hits for "Alex Haley's Queen the Story" with quotes - most of them being inventory listings such as for amazon.com, museum.tv, bookfinder.com, alibris.com... but there also are a few reliable sources that show the phrase "Alex Haley's Queen: The Story of an American Family", such as, , , , and .

 * In light of the above, revert to dab page per Rumping... and I was the one who made the redirect in the first place. B.Wind (talk) 06:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Versus22 talk 08:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Under most other circumstances, I would place a db-move tag on the redirect, but Islamomt is intentionally moving the articles for some reason, and thus the deletion of the redirect would not be non-controversial. As far as I can tell, the subject names are not proper nouns, and thus should be in lowercase per Naming conventions (capitalization), but Islamomt is moving various articles so that all the words are capitalized. I'd like to revert the move for this page, but a subsequent edit on the redirect is preventing me from doing so.

 * Reverse redirect and protect, at least temporarily, as WP:NAME is clear here - lower case is the preferred naming convention. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 22:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Reverse redirect per the number guy. Tavix (talk) 22:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Move back over redirect per WP:CAPS. Ohconfucius (talk) 16:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Reverse redirect and protect per above. All we need now is an admin to pull the trigger here... B.Wind (talk) 06:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Reverse redirect title should be lower case per WP:CAPS and as above. --Rogerb67 (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I probably should've thought to take this Wikipedia:Requested moves, instead. It's been a while since I've done this. Dancter (talk) 19:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
