Talk:Whitehorse, Yukon

This redirect was nominated for retargeting in the past. The result of the discussion was procedurally closed due to ongoing requested move.

Requested move 3 December 2020

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.

It was proposed in this section that Whitehorse be renamed and moved to Whitehorse, Yukon.

result:
Procedural close. This request is malformed because redirects cannot be current titles in move requests. So I've taken the liberty of reopening this request at Talk:Whitehorse, Yukon#Requested move 3 December 2020. (nac by page mover) P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 17:16, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whitehorse → Whitehorse, Yukon – Whitehorse (one word) overwhelmingly refers to the city in Yukon, as discussed previously at Talk:White horse (disambiguation) 162.208.168.92 (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment shouldn't this be the other way around, based on the description? From what I can tell, this move is proposing the disambiguation page be moved to the page mentioning Yukon. The move request should probably also list the move of the disambiguation page to Whitehorse (disambiguation) as well. Turnagra (talk) 04:47, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Currently both Whitehorse and Whitehorse (disambiguation) are redirects to White horse (disambiguation). Whitehorse, Yukon is the main article. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 05:52, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So this should have been at RFD instead. Close as malformed. O.N.R. ^(talk) 06:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RFD does not handle this kind of request: If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. WP:RM is the correct venue, it's just that the request is backwards. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 08:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so the request should be Whitehorse, Yukon → Whitehorse, not the other way around? Turnagra (talk) 07:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move Whitehorse, Yukon to Whitehorse as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by pageviews among all topics named "Whitehorse" [1]. Do not move white horse (disambiguation) as the clear majority of topics on that page are written with a space. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 08:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes this is malformatted but its clear what the proposer is proposing so a closer can close as such since the page benefiting has anyway been notified (not necessarily that it matters if the page not notified benefits from the move). Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this one is marginal. Until August, Whitehorse redirected to White horse (the animal). I retargetted it to the dab after fixing its 14 links, all of which were for the Yukon city. However, there are other significant meanings, notably the Australian City of Whitehorse which has a population seven times that of the Yukon city. Certes (talk) 11:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
