Requested move 25 March 2016

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Two moves to be done via technical request or something; I'll work on that. Without prejudice against wbm1058's idea of finding a better disambiguator than ornithologist. (non-admin closure)Dicklyon (talk) 04:34, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]



Alexander Wilson (disambiguation)Alexander Wilson – The pageview comparison shows more pageviews for the writer and spy. In view of the large number of people with this name without a primary topic I suggest to use Alexander Wilson as the disambiguation page. Inwind (talk) 13:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • procedural close the target is occupied by an article, and requested moves cannot be used for deletion. The nominator has proposed to overwrite an existing article with a different page. Requested Moves cannot be used to simply overwrite articles, which is what WP:AfD Deletion is for, to delete the article first, before you move a different page into the newly unoccupied location. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I haved moved the ornithologist and put in a request to have the redirect deleted and the disambig page moved, but there are still a ton of links to it. I've updated quite a few already to "Alexander Wilson (ornithologist)|" (the pipe trick), but many more need action. See: Special:WhatLinksHere/Alexander_Wilson. I hope those who supported this move will chip in to help fix it. Dicklyon (talk) 04:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Inwind, Cuchullain, Necrothesp, and Wbm1058: – Your help in fixing incoming links to Alexander Wilson (ornithologist)| would be a big help here. Special:WhatLinksHere/Alexander_Wilson. Dicklyon (talk) 05:14, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, but for a couple that I'm not sure of. wbm1058 (talk) 12:18, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
