The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. The spelling differences are the topic of the article, which means that the preference for choosing a variant isn't an issue here. Dekimasuよ! 06:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Disc or disk (spelling) → disc — spelling difference in title is unnecessary. The article should go by the more common "disc" spelling. —Reginmund 06:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This Wiki is

Totally pointless! What kind of encylopaedia will you ever find this in??? Stop littering Wikipedia with rubbish.

• Support: The spelling difference in the title is unnecessary. Reginmund 06:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Disc or disk (spelling) and Disc or disk are different articles at present, and Disc redirects to the latter of these. So this appears to be a merge request, and should be relisted as a merge (or relisted as a simple move if the listing is in error). Andrewa 07:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. The spelling difference in the title is the subject of the article. It's not just about "the spelling of 'disc' (sometimes known as 'disk'", but rather why the word is sometimes spelled "disc" and other times "disk". --zenohockey 19:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Support, as per Reginmund. – Axman (☏) 15:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

I thought Wikipedia used just one variant spelling of words in titles? That was my understanding anyway. – Axman (☏) 15:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
