Requested move 9 December 2018

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

The result of the move request was: restored status quo ante since the editor who changed the status quo ante requested it. Also splitting the page history. The support !votes below would become blurry as to whether they actually supported the proposal or supported an implicit alternate proposal, which I will open below. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:46, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]


PattonPatton (surname) – Assuming the consensus remains to keep the "Patton" redirect at the WP:PRIMARY of George S. Patton, this set index describes individuals with the surname, and should be amiguated as such. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 22:39, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The supports for the move request above became muddied as to whether they were supporting the proposal to restore the undiscussed change of primary topic for "Patton" from the general to the surname or to no primary topic. Revisiting that discussion here after splitting the edit history from the change. Three different options of where Patton should "land".

  1. Status quo: "Patton" has a primary topic of the general
  2. "Patton" has no primary topic and the disambiguation page should be moved to the base name.
  3. Change the primary topic of "Patton" to the surname (by moving the surname article to the base name)

The page views given in the move request indicate that the general is still the primary topic, and "too many uses" is not evidence that one of the many uses isn't primary. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:56, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
