[edit] Unnecessary move?

This article has been renamed from Boston Common (park) to Boston Common as the result of a move request.

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 - restore to original name as primary topic. Keith D (talk) 17:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Why was this page moved from Boston Common to Boston Common (park)? The park is very clearly the primary meaning of "Boston Common"; the disambiguation page should be at Boston Common (disambiguation). Compare Central Park and Central Park (disambiguation). Does anybody disagree with me? AJD (talk) 16:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Not in the least. The current title is a redundancy, on a similar level to saying "Broadway (street)". I support a return to the previous title. Best wishes, Hertz1888 (talk) 16:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Other meanings are clearly secondary to this one. This move should be reversed. --Polaron | Talk 23:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support move back to Boston Common. Clearly the primary meaning. Andrewa (talk) 00:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. While we use primary for "overwhelmingly most common", this is also true. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support, unquestionably the primary topic for this title. older ≠ wiser 18:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brimmer & May?
