Requested move 29 February 2016

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: Move. to Tokushima at-large district and Okinawa at-large district. Clear consensus that the disambiguation is unnecessary; it was also pointed out that "at-large" should be uncapitalized. Cúchullain ^t/c 18:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

– – From 1947 until 1994, an "At-large district" existed for both the House of Representatives (Japan's "Lower House") and the House of Councillors (upper house) for 10 of Japan's 47 prefectures. After 1994, the HoR districts were divided into smaller ones but the HoC districts have remained. Because articles have not yet been created on the English Wikipedia for the ten pre-1994 HoR articles, I believe that the (House of Councillors) disambiguation following each name is unnecessary. Even if the articles are created in the future, then per WP:TWODABS and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC I believe the current HoC articles are the primary topic and links to the old districts can be achieved with hatnotes.
There is a related discussion at Talk:Gunma At-large district (House of Councillors). AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support per PRIMARYTOPIC. However, they should be "at-large" not "At-large" (see Category:At-large United States congressional districts). Number 5 7 10:10, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
