Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. 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 proposal was no consensus to move "Barack (brandy)" to "Barack", per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 14:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose move over redirect. This is the only "barack" article, and it already contains a hatnote for Barack Obama. --HailFire (talk) 21:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh, no per WP:DAB: "Ask yourself: When a reader enters a given term in the Wikipedia search box and pushes "Go", what article would they most likely be expecting to view as a result?" — AjaxSmack 22:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment extending that notion, I would wager that a strong majority of the people typing in Barrack into the search box are looking for the same thing; and similar cases made for Hillary, Hilary, Bush, etc. How far should the what they most likely be expecting go? My opinion is that Wikipedia needs to establish a strict No one-name automatic redirect policy for all but the most obvious cases; but, given the rhetoric at Talk:Obama (disambiguation), election years (or the year before an election year) are apparently not the time to bring it up. I see no sense in waging the same battle here... now. Neier (talk) 05:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose. Five years ago maybe yes. In 100 years maybe yes. Right now no way. Compulsions70 (talk) 00:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose. Agree with the points above. Also, Wikipedia becomes a propaganda tool if Barack redirects to Brandy. (PS I'm English, so not voting either way!) Sam Staton (talk) 20:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed rename

This article should be retitled Barack palinka, since barack only refers to the flavor, and does not make sense in this case without palinka. Additionally, there are other things flavored "barack" in Hungarian.

Perhaps a redirect to Palinka is in order.

rmo13 (talk) 21:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It's like saying "strawberry" means "strawberry ice cream." "Barack" is simply Hungarian for "peach"; there's no indication that it is peach pálinka unless it is specifically stated "barack pálinka". I second the suggestion to redirect to pálinka. — Emiellaiendiay 16:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that no one has objected to these suggestions over the last 10 months. I will therefore merge this article into Palinka; if anyone objects, feel free to say so on Talk:Palinka, on my talk page, or on Talk:Barack Obama, where the idea first came to my attention. If this solution is stable and uncontended, I will nominate Barack (brandy) for deletion, since it is unlikely anyone will search for that term as such. -Silence (talk) 03:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
