The result of the move request was: Moved to Libon (architect) Mike Cline (talk) 14:54, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]



– There's a disambiguation page for Libon. Libon (disambiguation) should become Libon and Libon should become Libon (poet). Josuepe (talk) 17:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I hope you don't mind me tidying up your request a bit. --BDD (talk) 19:10, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support a move to Libon (architect). See my comment in the section below; I think the references to a poet on the dab page are actually referring to a different person, one for whom we don't have an article. Either way, I doubt this person meets WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, though this may be difficult to gauge since Libon (service) was just created. --BDD (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support a move to Libon (architect), as in Libon's Temple of Zeus at Olympia. Never heard of Libon writing poetry, or a poet called Libon. Have fixed dab page to say "architect". Also added fr:Libon, cartoonist. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Poet or architect?[edit]

The dab Libon (disambiguation) says Libon was a poet, but the article itself says he was an architect. So which was it? I'm inclined to think the latter; the 1911 Britannica article indicates he was definitely an architect. It's possible he was also a poet, but I suspect that was just another figure from antiquity with the same name. --BDD (talk) 19:13, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"poet Libon" gets zero hits in GB. Pretty certain its just a mistake, hence corrected. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:21, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
