Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived 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. Yes I know we should have had an uninvolved person close it, but is obvious and actually uncontroversial, so closed in the interest of getting on with things..... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


53 Persei variableslowly pulsating B star – The original author of the term and discoverer of the group, Christoffel Waelkens, has written here that it is a more appropriate term as he is unsure that the prototype is even a member of the group. The new name is more descriptive and accessible for the reader. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, makes sense. StringTheory11 (t • c) 03:49, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also if this succeeds, the corresponding category should also be moved, and links referring to "53 Persei variable" should be changed to refer to "slowly pulsating B star". StringTheory11 (t • c) 16:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, everyone calls them SPBs now. That's even what the corresponding sub-section in Variable Star calls then, although in the interests of full disclosure I should point out that I created that section. Lithopsian (talk) 13:13, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
