The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was I moved Hanson (disambiguation) to Hanson] as it seemed completely uncontroversial. olderwiser 16:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Dab page was moved from the original title without consensus. Reason seemed to be the misconception that "(disambiguation)" needs to be applied to the title of any disambiguation page. Hanson redirect will only be biased like abused or fought over, as it was before today, if this move does not go through. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 05:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Add " *'''Support''' " or " *'''Oppose''' " and an optional, brief reason for your position.
  • Support per and as nom. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 05:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Revert previous move and close as uncontroversial Previous move was done without consensus, no need to hold an RM, just revert it.  Anþony  talk  07:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Was that a vote? Eh. Thanks for the words of wisedom, Anpho. Thing is, I can't. "Hanson" has an edit history, however short. The guy who moved the page redirected it to Hansobn. This move requires admin help. Furthermore, I cannot assume it's uncontroversial. At least, not uncontroversial enough to be submitted as such as RM.

      • I ask you not to refer me to by that name again. I prefer Anthony if you find þ difficult to type. My "vote" was more of a suggestion to any passing admin. If my opinion isn't clear enough, I support your request. The original move is the one that required discussion and consensus, reverting it is not controversial in my view. You could list it as an uncontroversial RM requiring admin assistance or even tag the redirect with {{db-move}}.  Anþony  talk  10:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Suggest you close this poll and put the move request into the Uncontroversial moves section of WP:RM. --Bobblehead 11:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Start any addition discussion here.

I'm not sure where to start. 1) Hanson should be a disambiguation page. 2) The current content of Hanson (disambiguation) should be moved to Hanson (surname) or something similar. 3) I think I shall attempt to do this now. olderwiser 16:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Although perhaps it may make sense to leave the surname information at Hanson and separate off the other disambiguation senses, similar to what was done for Johnson. olderwiser 16:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
