Talk:Manchester city

On 22 July 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Manchester city (disambiguation). The result of the discussion was Procedural close.

Where Should It Redirect To?

I'm thinking the football club Manchester City FC rather than the city of Manchester. Jairuscobb 19:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 July 2023

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. The appropriate venue for this discussion is WP:Redirects for discussion, because this page was a redirect until 5 minutes before this request. (non-admin closure) {{replyto|SilverLocust}} (talk) 06:56, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester city → Manchester city (disambiguation) – Personally I'd say WP:NOPRIMARY, but I'm opening an RM to see what others think. 90.254.19.245 (talk) 14:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it should be at Manchester City (disambiguation) or perhaps Manchester City, as a number of articles on Wikipedia have the city capitalised. I agree that there should be a dab page on listing all Manchester City related articles. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What? - This already is a disambiguation page. I can't quite tell what the nominator is asking for. "X (disambiguation)" is only used when there is a primary topic or primary redirect for "X" alone. In this case, there is no primary topic so "Manchester city" is by itself a dab page. estar8806 (talk) ★ 15:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in that case I think I shall disregard the Manchester City (disambiguation) alternative above and consider either of the two base name pages. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:32, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Having the dab page at Manchester city (disambiguation) would have sort of made sense before you changed Manchester city from a redirect to a dab page (yesterday!). Is there really no primary topic? Not even for the capitalised Manchester City? Seems like very few people ever refer to the City of Manchester as Manchester city, perhaps because of the inevitable confusion with the football club.

What about before the football club existed? 90.254.19.245 (talk) 18:51, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You mean before Wikipedia existed? Lithopsian (talk) 19:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Convert to Redirect this shouldn't be a page at all; the IP created it yesterday because they disagreed with the redirect target. If Manchester city should be redirected elsewhere, the proper forum is WP:TFD. Walt Yoder (talk) 21:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

@Walt Yoder Sorry for my previous comment. 90.254.19.245 (talk) 09:13, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

dab page for this topic

I have edited Manchester city (disambiguation) since it is no longer appropriate for it to redirect to the redirect at this page. I have copied the dab content which was here into that page. I have also moved it to Manchester City (disambiguation) to match the capitalisation of the primary topic: Manchester City F.C.. This page can be referenced in any RfD relating to this page or Manchester City. Lithopsian (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
