The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. There is a problem here that needs fixing, but moving this page does not seem to be the way to fix it. Assistance is requested to deal with the ill-advised longstanding redirect. (non-admin closure) —BarrelProof (talk) 02:05, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Japanese destroyer Harusame (1935) → Harusame – More succinct, seems to be the primary topic for the shorter name, and the shorter name has been a redirect to this article for seven years. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:57, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

"Harusame," lit. "spring rain," would usually refer to Cellophane noodles, if you go to a Japanese restaurant or are familiar with Japanese cooking. This is a much more common use of the word than the name of the destroyer, the redirect notwithstanding. "Harusame" is a dab on the Japanese Wikipedia, with the first link pointing to the noodles and links to four different ships, not just this one (built in 1903, 1935, 1957, and 1992). The English dab page at Spring Rain also implies that it is the title of a painting by Kawai Gyokudō, although I'm not sure about the notability of that painting. Much more notable is Harusame Monogatari; some of the sources on that page do refer to it as "Harusame." In sum, if Harusame is not to redirect to the noodles, it should be converted to a dab with these and any other applicable entries. Dekimasuよ! 01:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
