Article name

The term "Battle of Trindade" is *very, very* sparsely used in works not influenced by Wikipedia. "Carmania and Cap Trafalgar" gets 206 Google Book hits, "Battle of Trindade" gives *one* 2005 reference and a terrible alternate-history fiction piece that I strongly suspect was researched on Wikipedia. The article belongs at something like Battle between Carmania and Cap Trafalgar, in my opinion. 99.249.15.40 (talk) 07:35, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

In view of no comments I am putting this up for a move.

Requested move 20 November 2014

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 to Sinking of SMS Cap Trafalgar. For now I'm just doing the move. Anyone who wants to should go ahead with a merge and redirect. The strongest opinion in the discussion is that 'Battle of Trindade' is a poor title. The general opinion favors the merger of this battle description into the battle section of SMS Cap Trafalgar.

Battle of Trindade → Battle between Carmania and Cap Trafalgar – The term "Battle of Trindade" is quite obscure and appears to have been popularized largely by Wikipedia itself. *No* reference works refer to the battle in such terms. It is generally named by the ships involved and not by the nearest landmass. Relisted. BDD (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC) 99.249.15.40 (talk) 04:35, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

• Comment Possible alternative titles are "HMS Carmania vs SMS Cap Trafalgar" (similar to some single-ship actions in the War of 1812) or "Sinking of SMS Cap Trafalgar". PatGallacher (talk) 16:00, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
• How about Sinking of the Cap Trafalgar? Dekimasuよ! 20:21, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

• Do I detect a consensus emerging for "Sinking of SMS Cap Trafalgar"? PatGallacher (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

• Would it make more sense to merge this article to SMS Cap Trafalgar and delete it? The section about the battle in the main article is actually larger than the whole sub-article itself. Not an expert, just wondering why this relatively small topic has 2 articles. Aside from this question + 1 for "Sinking of SMS Cap Trafalgar". GermanJoe (talk) 11:37, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

• Preferring Merge & redirect too (just for clarity). GermanJoe (talk) 06:59, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

• Merge & redirect sounds good to me. Failing that, "Sinking of the SMS Cap Trafalgar" and variants sound fine. SnowFire (talk) 18:30, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Support moving to Sinking of the SMS Cap Trafalgar and then merging and redirecting as necessary; doing things in this order places no WP:DEMAND on the editor closing the discussion. Dekimasuよ! 22:10, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
