[edit] Requested move
One World (disambiguation) → One World … Rationale: There are quite a number of different "One World" articles. The One World article used to be about the book by Wendell Willkie, and One World (disambiguation) had the other possibilities. But this seemed clearly inappropriate, since the other uses of "One World" were just as popular as the book, and in fact most of the links to One World were actually references to the TV series or one of the other possibilities. Also, people kept editing the book article to add information about the One World project, even though it already has its own article. So I moved the book's article to One World (book), and fixed the incoming links to point to the right places; now One World is just a redirect to One World (disambiguation). The next logical step would be to move One World (disambiguation) to One World, but I can't do that since the target already exists. Kickaha Ota 12:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion
- Comment, it is already correctly named and the redirect is common. I don't see the point in moving it to One World - which is incorrectly named anyway (as it is a normal page so should be One world with no second capital). --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 12:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Generic topic, the dab page should be at One World (all entries captialize "world" and there is no "One world" article) and One World (disambiguation) should redirect to it. --Usgnus 17:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment: The best way to go about this, I think, is to list One World at Redirects for Deletion. Morgan Wick 02:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, at this rate, the page will be moved in a few days by an administrator anyway. --Usgnus 04:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- True, but I still thank Morgan Wick for the suggestion; next time I'll know how to handle this better. Kickaha Ota 19:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, Wikipedia:Requested moves is the correct page for this kind of move. If you look at the requests at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, you'll see that there's nothing like this "deletion". --Usgnus 19:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

- Ok points taken :P anyway re the suggested merge with Oneworld diambiguation I think it's a good idea (maybe), what do you reckon. It would be an easy typo / mistake to make and combining the 2 would make things cleaner and easier :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 08:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge discussion
- Oppose. I disagree with merging Oneworld (disambiguation) with this page. I think that a significant number of the readers who, upon arrival at either page will remember whether the term they're trying to find was a single word or not, and having separate pages will make the search easier for them. For the readers who have no idea, it's not much more work to click on the "See also" and scan both pages. Finally, those that do know whether it's "One World" or "Oneworld" won't have to deal with the other term. --Usgnus 14:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. I also disagree with merging the two disambiguation pages, for pretty much the same reasons as Usgnus. Kickaha Ota 18:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
