- . Move it an expand it. The actual content for Battlefield Ohio is not really sufficient for its own page. As a sub-section to Indecision 2006 (which could seperately also discuss things such as the 1hr special with Colbert Report and other segments prior to Battlefield Ohio), it would be a better fit --Forgottenlord 18:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect data
Battlefield Ohio special ran only one week - October 30 - November 2. The November 6 episode along with the joint Indecision 2006 live special on November 7 were both in New York --Forgottenlord 18:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move Request
It was requested that this article be renamed but the procedure outlined at WP:RM#Steps for requesting a controversial page move did not appear to be followed, and consensus could not be determined. Please request a move again with proper procedure if there is still a desire for the page to be moved. Thank you for your time! -- tariqabjotu 01:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Second Move Request
Considering that I requested the move, I support the move. I thank Tariqabotju for the suggestion. Lockesdonkey 03:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
Midwest Midterm Midtacular: Battlefield Ohio → The Daily Show: Indecision 2006 — The article covers--or at least should cover--a great deal more than just the four days that the show spent in Columbus. Furthermore, this brings it in line with established TDS "Indecision" articles, such as The Daily Show: Indecision 2004. (Originally proposed by Lockesdonkey) – Anþony talk 06:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Oppose It is my recollection that the show itself preferred this term over "Indecision 2006". The rest of the Indecision 2006 coverage is probably non-notable as was mostly relegated to the news read intro. – Anþony talk 07:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments:
To be clear: I did not propose this move, Lockesdonkey did. I simply completed the procedure at WP:RM and added the standard discussion template. I do not necessarily support the move. In fact, I have some questions. I saw the "Midwest Midterm Midtacular" and they certainly used that more prominently than "Indecision 2006". Did they ever claim that the MMM was a part of their Indecision 2006 coverage? It seems that they themselves reduced the use of the term this time around. – Anþony talk 06:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- While I have already spoken, I feel the need to say this: The Battlefield Ohio part is truly insane, no? Furthermore, the full title of the series was Indecision 2006: Midterm Midtaclar--at least, that's how the coverage was titled on Election Day itself. The Midwest part lasted all of four days, and I feel that the title gives the sense that the coverage before the visit to Columbus and after it are somehow excluded.

- Apparently, the four days in Ohio were called "Battlefield Ohio: 'The Daily Show's' Midwest Midterm Midtacular"[1], while the special was called "'Indecision 2006': The Midterm Midtacular"[2]. It eludes description a bit. In all honesty, it doesn't matter. I'll support anything that isn't ridiculous. – Anþony talk 14:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
