The result of the proposal was not moved. --BDD (talk) 21:06, 29 January 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

98th Range Wing → Nevada Test and Training Range – Retitle article per WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME. Prior discussion and consensus is at Talk:Nevada Test and Training Range (Geographic area). Requested target page is redirect (and former name for article now including Geographic area in its title) preventing the move.--Lineagegeek (talk) 16:28, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See discussion at Nevada Test and Training Wing, which has been reverted to that title, as well.--Lineagegeek (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the target is now a different article. And in any case, the geographic area is the primary topic, not the unit. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 23:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The range was and is the primary use. The unit has had many name changes. To make it the primary topic seems rather foolish. If this really need renaming, then the best option could be Nevada Test and Training (wing) which would follow normal dab conventions. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:00, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Suggested Best Option My preferred option would be to make the Nevada Test and Training Range a disambiguation page and channel people to their preferred option Nevada Test and Training Range (noun) or Nevada Test and Training Range (other noun). I don't agree that the primary decision is as clear cut as others believe in view of the 98th's distinguished history. However, I concede that sentiment favors the installation being regarded as primary. The suggested option for this page, Nevada Test and Training (wing) doesn't follow, since Range is part of the unit name. I'd like to see a better option (before we all start saying nasty things about the genius in DAF/A1M who came up with the new name for the wing).--Lineagegeek (talk) 00:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Why not call the installation the 'Nevada Test and Training Range (installation 2001-2012)'? Buckshot06 (talk) 00:51, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The current proposal doesn't make sense, but I do support moving this page to XXX (unit) and the other one to XXX (range) or something like that. As it stands now, we could then create a disambiguation page at the old location, and go from there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
