- Victoria (TV series) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|archive|watch) (RM)
Clear consensus to move (5 support !votes, despite closer only counting two - see User talk:Bradv#Your close of RM for Victoria (TV series)), not dependent on the outcome of the RFC. --woodensuperman 15:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I acknowledge that I should have left a more detailed rationale when I closed the discussion. There were several comments suggesting that this should hold off until the RfC at WT:NCTV is complete, as depending on how that goes this may result in yet another page move. Therefore, this discussion was closed as no consensus, without prejudice against renominating once the RfC is settled. I explained all this to Woodensuperman on my talk page.

- You also explained that you called a "no consensus" because there were only two editors supporting the move, when there were in fact five. --woodensuperman 15:36, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Bradv. Discussions on Wikipedia are not a vote, it doesn't matter how many people supported it. The important detail of the discussion is that there were clear disagreements between the editors who contributed to the discussion, no compromises were made between those for and against the move, and hence, there was no consensus. -- AlexTW 15:39, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) Regardless of the actual numbers, the number of people supporting the move and those opposing or suggesting this wait a bit is roughly equal. Surely you can't call that a consensus. Bradv 15:42, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The move is not dependent on the RfC, as, per WP:INCDAB, it is currently at a title which does not sufficiently disambiguate, so whatever the outcome of the RFC the article will need to be moved. There was clear consensus to move on this basis. --woodensuperman 15:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What points of WP:CONSENSUS do you base this observation of apparent "consensus" on? What compromise was agreed upon between the disagreeing editors in the discussion? -- AlexTW 15:46, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- No compromise needed. --woodensuperman 15:48, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Then you do not understand what a consensus is per WP:CONSENSUS, and this move review is simply the act of a disgruntled editor that did not get their way. -- AlexTW 15:49, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Also noted is that Woodensuperman ignored Bradv's suggestion to wait until the RFC at WT:NCTV completed, which is a discussion clearly related to the article at hand, as the article was directly referenced in the RFC discussion, and both issues concern the correct disambiguation of an article. -- AlexTW 15:43, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Whatever the outcome of the RFC, the article needs to be moved to distinguish it from the other TV series with the same name. --woodensuperman 15:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- That is your personal opinion; the article was directly referenced in the RFC discussion as an example for the RFC. -- AlexTW 15:46, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- It is also the opinion of the majority of editors who contributed to the RM. --woodensuperman 15:48, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Incorrect, and your personal view, again. This move review holds zero basis; if it were the "opinion of the majority of editors who contributed", then it would have been closed as "consensus". It was not. -- AlexTW 15:49, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that's why I was amazed it was closed as "no consensus" when five editors were clearly in favour of moving it and only you were against it. This is exactly why this move review is necessary, and is not the ramblings of "a disgruntled editor that did not get their way". Let's see how it plays out, rather than assuming bad faith, eh? --woodensuperman 16:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- How many times do you have to be told that the number of !votes does not count? There was clear disagreement between those that wanted to move it, and those that either did not or believed we should wait for the RFC - that's all that mattered. It was not resolved. Hence, no consensus. This very move review is ABF in itself, so I think my review on your actions is quite fair. -- AlexTW 16:05, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
