Requested move
[edit]- The following discussion is an archived 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: Moved AP Spanish Language to AP Spanish. The existing DAB page is deleted per WP:CSD#G6 as unnecessary disambiguation. The surviving article will provide a hatnote to AP Spanish Literature. EdJohnston (talk) 16:59, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
AP Spanish → AP Spanish (disambiguation) – According to the articles themselves, students are more than ten times as likely to take the course/exam for AP Spanish Language course/exam than an AP Spanish Literature. I propose that the language should be the primary topic, and that this page should be moved so that AP Spanish can redirect to AP Spanish Language, with an appropriate hatnote on that article to indicate the redirect. bd2412 T 17:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose primarytopic claim with flimsy rationale. Dicklyon (talk) 01:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Dicklyon, since your opposition is premised on the strength of the rationale, allow me to offer some additional evidence. First, the pageview statistics for these topics are as follows:
- AP Spanish has been viewed 190 times in the last 90 days
- AP Spanish Language has been viewed 3139 times in the last 90 days
- AP Spanish Literature has been viewed 1425 times in the last 90 days
- AP French has been viewed 245 times in the last 90 days
- AP French Language has been viewed 2072 times in the last 90 days
- AP French Literature has been viewed 902 times in the last 90 days
- This indicates that in each case, around 70% of the time the reader is looking for the language course, not the literature course. Secondly, a Google search for topics like "AP Spanish test", "AP French test", "AP Spanish exam", and "AP French exam", suggests that when the phrases "AP Spanish" and "AP French" are used without qualifiers, it is understood that the language exam is most often the intended subject, not the more advanced literature exam. AP Spanish Literature is therefore a partial title match which fails WP:DABMENTION, and must be removed from this page, leaving only one link. I will address this deficiency now. Finally, these exams are not unrelated topics, but are, in each case, tests of proficiency in a specific language conducted under the Advanced Placement examination system, making them WP:DABCONCEPT, and not suitable for disambiguation in the first place. bd2412 T 14:05, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Strong support as per WP:TWODABS. "Flimsy rationale" is an unnecessary (and untrue!) criticism; TWODABS says just pick one and roll with it, and this is logical enough. Red Slash 02:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- A worse-than-flimsy rationale, since there are more than 2 topics linked on the disambig pages. Dicklyon (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is only one topic for which the disambiguation term applies. These pages can be deleted as disambiguation pages that don't disambiguate anything. There is, of course, no suggestion that Anthony French is ever referred to as A.P. French (much less as AP French). bd2412 T 17:57, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- A worse-than-flimsy rationale, since there are more than 2 topics linked on the disambig pages. Dicklyon (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Support, the only subject to which "AP Spanish" directly refers is the AP Spanish Language test. It simply doesn't mean anything else, and is the more concise title. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 22:20, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

USA? Or US/Canada?
[edit]There is no information given (certainly not in the current lede) about where in the world this refers to. I'll add "USA" - please correct if that's not right. --Chriswaterguy talk 03:07, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on AP Spanish. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}

to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
