Requested move[edit]

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.

Page moved to Law of Due Obedience. I think this addresses the concerns in the discussion and eliminates the need for a hyphen in addition to having support on its own. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ley de Obediencia DebidaDue obedience lawRelisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC) Name in English. I know that there may be other "Due obedience laws" elsewhere, but so far this is the only one with an article, so a DAB entry should be unneeded (at least for the moment). See here to confirm that this is the use in English books, and not "Law of due obedience". There are a pair of entries about other places, but most of them are about this one, the law from Argentina Cambalachero (talk) 03:39, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose – pretty much all the sources use some device to attach "due" to "obedience", to prevent the wrong default reading; whether it be the normal English hyphenation due-obedience law or quotation marks "due obedience" law, or caps Due Obedience law. I recommend the hyphen. Dicklyon (talk) 07:13, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: The title of a legislative act is capitalized. Otherwise it looks like the name of a field of common law, like "due diligence law". —Tamfang (talk) 01:05, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, after fixing caps., if the only objection is WP:CAPS then fix caps. This should be in English. No reason to niggle. But per Winning Small Battles, Losing the War p49 Marieke Denissen - 2009 "The last straw was the Falklands War, which lasted for three months in 1982 and ended in Argentina's humiliating defeat. ... The Law of Due Obedience established that charges against lower-ranking officers would be dropped. " this would be better. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:39, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename -- This is the English WP, so that article titles should be in English. Whether the target should be Due Obedience Law or Law of Due Obedience does not concern me too much. The resultatn redirect should be retained. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
