[edit] Please Move This Page

The term 'chihuahua' is redirected here. When one mentions the word chihuahua then obviously they think of the breed of dog. Someone move it please? 88.111.177.233 11:52, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Honestly, how many people type in the word and are looking for the Mexican state? This is the English-language Wikipedia, not the Spanish-language one. Very few English speakers are even aware of the existence of a state by the name "Chihuahua." -134.84.102.192 22:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

Chihuahua to Chihuahua (state). Chihuahua far more commonly refers to the dog than to this Mexican state. Helicoptor 15:40, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak oppose - I don't think this page should be moved just to make way for the dog article, although I could see the wisdom of having a disambiguation page at Chihuahua instead. — sjorford++ 18:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. In addition to Sjorford's point, the nominator's account was recently used for vandalism[1] (EG redirecting Iraq to dangerous place, then to George W. Bush; as well as re-opening the cat flap flap, with no response to a question about the strange edits[2]), so the nature/intent/motivation of the nomination is questionable.24.18.215.132 00:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Rubbish. Who cares if the author is immature and/or misinformed? let's just think of what is best for Wikipedia. 81.86.107.17 17:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Result: no move

Clear oppose. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 21:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Can we get this going again? I didn't even know there was a state in Mexico called Chihuahua. I vote to move it. 213.218.199.111 09:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Strongly opposed. - Let's not "get this going again." A state in Mexico is clearly more important than a little dog. FitzColinGerald 07:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Incredibly opposed. - My state is by far more important than that little senseless dog... That's the problem with people like you... I bet I know far more about your stupid country (which ever it is) than you. Please quit the bull.
I agree - I think a large majority of people who search "Chihuahua" are looking for the dog. I know I was when I found this page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.149.189 (talk) 16:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree - On further consideration, I say a disambigious page is in order. Thus is the case for Newfoundland (where I'm from), and Newfoundland (dog). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.149.189 (talk) 16:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Strongly Opposed. - A state, regardless of what country it may be in is MUCH more important than a dog. The example set by the page on Newfoundland does not mean that this article should follow. If you weren't aware of a state that existed by this name, well congrats, you learned something today. Now really, lets just keep the article as is.Tcmstr134 (talk) 03:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Strongly Opposed - The objective of Wikipedia is to enrich human kind knowledge, if people look for the Chihuahua dog and finds this page, the objective of wikipedia is fullfil. Because that person will expand his knowledge and find out that there is a state bordering USA with the same name as his beloved dog. And perhaps find out that is home to a canyon bigger than the Grand Canyon, a thriving German community, also, home to the tarahumaras, one of the few native American communities that still have the same way of live than their ancestors 500 years ago and finally the place of birth of Anthony Quinn....

[edit] NPOV

The best way I can describe the need for review for this article is NPOV. There's some obsene material in this article. If you are going to call our country "The United States of Crap", learn how to write an article and don't sign your name. --~~ 05:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
