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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move Aragua State and Táchira (state), no consensus about primary topic for the others. Jafeluv (talk) 23:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aragua State → Aragua — Following on from the move discussion at Talk:Falcón, I think that some of the other state articles should also be moved.

  • Support all per nomination. Clearly the primary topic in all cases. -- 00:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Oppose Barinas and Cojedes, support Aragua and Táchira: I don't see how those are "quite clearly" the primary topic—particularly those where the name is the same as that of the capital. In some similar cases in Belgium (Antwerp and Liège), the city is actually considered the primary topic, and Namur (Belgium), Utrecht, and Groningen (both Netherlands) are dab pages. All those are provinces that share their name with their capital cities. Also, in Argentina, Salta is at the primary topic and Salta Province is separate. In conclusion, there is little precedent at Wikipedia for considering the administrative subdivision the primary topic when it shares its name with its capital, and I don't see how Venezuela is different—although I am open to persuasion.

    I support the moves of Arigua and Táchira, which do seem clear primary topics. Rivers, even when they are much more famous than those listed here, shouldn't have much of a bearing on the primary topic (compare Mississippi and Missouri). The geographic meanings of Aragua seem minor, and all other meanings listed for both Arigua and Táchira are tenuous ones that hardly belong on the dab page. Ucucha 19:43, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - After reading your comment, I realised I had made a mistake with regard to Cojedes. I assumed Cojedes, Cojedes was the state capital, when in fact it is the main town in one of the municipalities of Cojedes and the state capital is San Carlos, Cojedes. I understand your concern about whether the state is the primary topic, and after a little exploring, I found a Cojedes state government history article, which if I have read it correctly, says Cojedes state is named after the homonymous river i.e. the Cojedes River. I would like to believe the state is now the primary topic, even if it is named after the river.
  • However I have had no luck with Barinas with neither the state government nor the municipal government appearing to say which one was named after the other. Green Giant (talk) 03:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It doesn't really matter which one was historically named after the other; for example, Boston (Massachusetts) is the primary topic, even though it was named after a place in England (Boston, Lincolnshire). To prove that Barinas is the primary topic, you need to prove that the state is what people usually mean when they say "Barinas". Ucucha 06:33, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
