Requested move 1 September 2021

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: Moved discussion to Talk:Dorcas#Requested move 1 September 2021. SnowFire (talk) 15:58, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tabitha → Tabitha (name) – The current "Tabitha" article deals with the given name & surname and their wider use in English, and should best be called "Tabitha (name)". There is a famous Tabitha from the Bible, who deserves to have an article by this name, plain and unqualified. Right now, her article goes under the wrong name, Dorcas, which is a secondary, translated version of her primary Aramaic name, Tabitha (both mean 'gazelle', dorkas being the Greek word for that). The move request has been made at Dorcas, too (you find there more arguments re. that move). Both moves are successively blocked by a redirect, Tabitha (name), which needs to be removed. So we have a redirect to be removed, and then two articles to be renamed, each action being currently blocked by the next.

To recap what I am asking for:
- The redirect "Tabitha (name)" leading to the article about the English name, should be removed, as it blocks two logical renamings. Then I'll take it from there, namely:
- The article about the English name Tabitha to be called "Tabitha (name)" (not simply "Tabitha", since there is one famous Tabitha, the biblical figure, who is more deserving).
- The article about the original Tabitha from the Bible to be called "Tabitha" (not "Dorcas", that being a translated, and therefore derived, secondary name). Arminden (talk) 15:05, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural speedy close - @Arminden:, it's best to have a single discussion rather than two separate ones. As the WP:RM instructions note, it's possible to request multiple linked moves in a single discussion - any complaints if I close this one and add it to the discussion at Talk:Dorcas ?

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Move discussion in progress

Additional Tabitha - Literature

Could we add Tabitha Wheelwright, from A Prayer for Owen Meany - the free-spirited, loving mother with a secret she took to her grave. Or something along those lines. She's a key character. 2600:4040:2B40:C100:71C2:A8EE:4060:4F03 (talk) 16:11, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
