Requested move 15 April 2015

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: Moved as requested Mike Cline (talk) 14:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Millennial → Millennial (blog) – As a matter of naming policy, we can have separate articles at Millennial and Millennials, but in this case, I don't think we should. Especially since the latter article deviates from our usual standard of singular form (correctly, IMO), I think not moving this article is going to result in a lot of WP:SURPRISE. The demographic cohort is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and will remain such for some time to come, I believe, so the singular form should redirect there. --BDD (talk) 22:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support and either redirect to Millenials as nom, or move Millenial (disambiguation) over the baseline. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:26, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Suppport. And make Millennial the disambig page. 173.160.224.84 (talk) 15:54, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support and redirect millennial to millennials. Calidum T|C 15:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Good grief, clearly not the primary topic. And neither is Millennials. Rename Millenial (disambiguation) to Millenial, since the adjective is the clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:12, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

Necrothesp (who reverted my move of the dab page Millennial to Millennials (disambiguation)), did you misread the move proposal? BDD explicitly said that "the demographic cohort is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and will remain such for some time to come, I believe, so the singular form should redirect there", and most of us (though not all) supported it as proposed, and then Mike Cline closed it with Moved as requested. You yourself might personally believe that it shouldn't point to Millennials, but it's incumbent on you to file at RfD or wherever if you want to change it. Red Slash 03:51, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, though maybe Mike can clarify whether that was his intent or if "as requested" is standard text he uses. RfD is a good idea if there's still disagreement about the issue, but it would help to be sure of an admin-sanctioned status quo that we can fall back on if there's no consensus there. --BDD (talk) 13:55, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My "Moved as requested" was primarily aimed at the base move, not necessarily the Redirect. Although I made the redirect to the DAB, there's clearly some further discussion warranted at RfD if editors disagree. --Mike Cline (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should reread the discussion above. I see two editors supporting a redirect to Millennials, two editors supporting Millennial as a disambiguation page, one undecided and one not addressing the issue but only the move of this article. That does not indicate consensus for your changes, only to rename this article, which has been done. Note that in any case this discussion was about Millennial (blog) and not about the wider issue. If you think the other article should be moved then propose it on its own page. It is actually you who has gone ahead and implemented changes that were not mandated here and were not implemented by the closing admin (who, ironically given your penultimate sentence above, actually appears to have moved Millenial (disambiguation) to Millennial before you moved it again). -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have opened an RM discussion at Talk:Millennials (disambiguation) as I think that is the appropriate place for discussion of what is effectively a separate move. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Calidium, BDD, myself, and the "65" IP editor all supported the redirecting to Millennials. (When the proposal says something and you give unqualified support to the proposal, that means you agree with it, too.) In ictu oculi didn't care and you and the other IP editor did not support it. Not that we count votes anyway. Red Slash 03:23, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. That clearly means consensus for the move of this article, but no consensus for the move of the other article. Importantly, the closing administrator did not move the other article as proposed by BDD; he moved it over the base and it was you who made the further move. That's why it needs further discussion on the appropriate page. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:44, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
