[edit] Requested move

The "(Disney)" part of this page's title is unnecessary, as nothing else in Wikipedia is specifically named "Horizons". Besides, the page has a disambig at the top of it, just in case anyone comes here by accident. - Brian Kendig 01:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Support – if there's nothing else with the name "Horizons", then I agree that the "(Disney)" part is unnecessary. (Brian-- you should only need to keep voting open for two days or so; I don't think this will be particularly controversial.) --bdesham 02:56, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
I agree that it's not a big deal, but there already exists a page at Horizons (a redirect to Horizon) and I'm not an admin so I don't have the ability to move the redirect out of the way, so I figured I'd take the official route so that, if accepted, someone else could move the article for me.
  • Oppose. Just do Google on "horizons" to convince yourselves that there is a lot of un-Wikipediafied content that is likely to conflict with this move in some near future. And this is for a no longer existent attraction ride! The word "Horizons" is too popular for this particular meaning to safely exist without the (Disney) modifier. For example, the University of Cincinnati's alumni magazine is called "Horizons": UC magazine "Horizons" website. -- Mareklug talk 14:29, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Test Track goes directly to the page for the Epcot attraction even though there are other uses of the term "test track". The Land goes directly to the page for a series of books under this title even though there are other uses of the term "the land". If there eventually become several pages in Wikipedia for things named "Horizons", then [[Horizons]] should go to the most common usage, with a disambig to the others. - Brian Kendig 16:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose I agree with Mareklug having the suffix of (disney) or (Epcot) may help people better find this page. LordBleen 15:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
If someone's looking for Horizons, I think they first thing they'll type in is "Horizons", not "Horizons (Disney)". - Brian Kendig 16:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Plural forms of common nouns should redirect to the common noun. Test Track and The Land are bad examples, as they're both proper nouns, not common nouns. -Sean Curtin 22:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Looks like my proposal didn't fly. Instead, I'm going to move this article to "Horizons (Epcot attraction)", because I think "(Disney)" is too ambiguous. - Brian Kendig 23:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
