 * Sacramento → Sacramento, California (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Move over redirect. I do not have permission to do this, and I don't think this is RM but tell me if it is, if "Sacramento" R's to Sacramento (California) patently that is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and the R's should be swopped. I can't do this myself, but the DAB at Sacramento (disambiguation) flows through the R at its lede, which is obviously silly. Si Trew (talk) 00:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC) [ Sacramento, CA, US, is presumably primary. For if not, the DAB should not in its lede link "Sacramento" saying "Sacramento is the capital of the state of California, in the United States of America", linking through the redirect to Sacramento, California. Either that target is primary, or the DAB is prwe imary and Sacramento, I thought DABs were supposed o disambiguate, and this is either primary or it isn't: If no, Sacramento, California must humbly take its place in the DAB list: we can't have DAb through R in the DAB lede, surely?

 * Withdrawn. I've fixed up so it is not in error. Now I have to do RM to move sacramento (the R) over the DAB, obviously keeping history. So this can close adnd I take to RM please. I've listed one of the many Sacramentos at the DAB, and removed its unnecessary hatnote since sacramento now r's to the dab. So we reverse that and we're done.

 * Speedy procedural close Nominator has withdrawn request; further it is a procedurally inocrrect request, as it should be requested at WP:Requested moves since it is a move requestl; and due to the WP:USPLACE guideline, will need a discussion anyways. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 05:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Not sure if this should be closed, when we now have Sacramento redirecting to the disambiguation page, i.e. Sacramento, California is no longer a primary topic. This seems debatable when the California city and state capital has a population of 475,000 while none of the others go over 30,000. Sacramento, CA still has the hatnote saying ""Sacramento" redirects here", but it doesn't! Noyster  (talk),  17:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Note: I've asked Anthony Appleyard to restore the original redirect page that he moved to Sacramento/redirects back to Sacramento. There's no way that this should have happened without a full discussion of whether the California city was the WP:PRIMARY topic. There are over 1300 links coming in to Sacramento, almost all of which are meant for Sacramento, California. Also, the move request at WP:RM/TR to move the disambiguation page to the base title should not have been placed in the 'Uncontroversial technical requests' section, as there's no way it is uncontroversial. Also, Si Trew, saying (at WP:RM/TR) and then only fixing 21 of 1341 links is not very helpful. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 22:11, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Procedural close: The pages are back where they were before the last 24 hours (Sacramento points to Sacramento, California), and there is a move discussion at Talk:Sacramento (disambiguation) to discuss the move of the disambiguation page to the base title. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 00:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
