Requested move 9 March 2018

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. The discussion appears to favor creation of a disambiguation page at Freedo (pinging User:In ictu oculi). Dekimasuよ! 17:52, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Freedo (producer) → Freedo – I don't think the WP:PTOPIC is a software mascot instead of an actual person. feminist (talk) 04:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Leaning toward support~~: I notice that the Linux-libre article contains only one mention of "Freedo" – in the caption of a graphic that shows the character (along with a carton gnu), with no citation to any source that discusses the mascot character. That doesn't seem like very substantial coverage of the topic, so I'm inclined to agree that the producer appears more appropriate as the presumed target for "Freedo" (although the article about the producer doesn't seem to really have much to say either – it's basically just a list – and only cites a dead link to a blog, something self-published by an affiliated source, and a couple of things of unknown quality that are written in German). —BarrelProof (talk) 06:56, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate or delete per comments above and below. Given the little we know about these topics, we don't really have a clear indication that this term has a primary topic (or of which topic that might be). —BarrelProof (talk) 13:59, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Consider delete I note that Fridolin Walcher doesn't have an article on de.wp. Do we need one? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:03, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that if Freedo is converted to a dab the most common Gbook hit FreeDO should feature, redirecting to 3DO Interactive Multiplayer as the "3" there is a stylism for Free. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:06, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Make "Freedo" into disambiguation page. It would be helpful for readers to be directed to the disambiguation page before being moved to a page they might not want to be at. It would presumably include this page, the Linux redirect, and the pages listed by Ictu above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 22:57, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would include:

Freedo (producer)
Linux-libre (Freedo)
FreeDO (3DO Interactive Multiplayer)

etc. Paintspot Infez (talk) 12:15, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and support alternative solution above someone ping me and I'd be happy to do it. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
