Requested move 25 July 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: not moved. No prejudice against future discussion, but clearly we can't move over an existing article. Jenks24 (talk) 13:55, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gold bug (disambiguation) → Gold bug – The disambiguation page should be at the base title per WP:MALPLACED (Gold bug redirects to Gold bug (disambiguation)). Note that there is a sizable history behind Gold bug, so saving that history somewhere might be necessary. – Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 22:32, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Ad Orientem (talk) 05:03, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The original BLAR by GliderMaven is being strenuously contested and should be reverted per WP:BLAR and WP:ATD-R. If GliderMaven objects to the article the correct course is to propose a WP:MERGE or to send it to AfD. Editors do not have the right to arbitrarily delete by redirection any article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:03, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ping Anthony Appleyard‎ -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:07, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ad Orientem and Niceguyedc: There is already an article at Gold bug (which I have reverted to text); if this move proposal is accepted, for safety this existing article Gold bug should be moved elsewhere, not be left deleted under another article which has been moved in. And see discussion at Talk:Gold bug. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:16, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I would also suggest we revert any edits made to the original disambiguation page until the fate of Gold bug is decided by the community. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:28, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment gold bug (gold bug) could be used to hold the edit history, if the article is unsuitable, and then redirected to the disambiguation page. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 08:36, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the article at Gold bug, needs to be renamed first if the disambig is to be moved there.--KTo288 (talk) 23:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
