Requested move 22 August 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Loved Ones. Current primary topics for The Loved Ones and The Loved One not moved, but without prejudice against a move request. The discussion notice was not quite the same as a notification of moving those pages as part of a multimove request. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:40, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Loved Ones (disambiguation) → Loved One – Since its creation 11 years ago, in July 2008, this dab page has never had a specified WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, therefore there is no need for the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)" and this dab page's main title header could simply be Loved One, which currently redirects to it. Hatnotes already exist atop any pages that might be affected by uncertainty. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:11, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. Most topics on the page do have a definite article and a plural "One" in the title, but this seems like a harmless change. bd2412 T 18:37, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support alternate move - Either move The Loved One to The Loved One (novel) or The Loved One: An Anglo-American Tragedy (per WP:SUBTITLE) and move it to the former page, or move The Loved Ones to The Loved Ones (band) and move it to the former page. The band move should be done regardless of how this RM ends, since it's not the obvious primary topic._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:43, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support ZXCVBNM's moves and support any version of the non disambiguated dab page. Redirect The Loved One and The Loved Ones back to the dab page after those page moves. --Gonnym (talk) 20:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. As the nominator, I would also support ZXCVBNM's move proposals and Gonnym's proposal. Since, among the ten dab page entries, none use the proposed "Loved One", but four use "The Loved Ones", three use "The Loved One" and three use "Loved Ones", if there is consensus for any of these moves, the nomination's purpose would be equally fulfilled by moving The Loved Ones to The Loved Ones (band) or by disambiguating the novel's main header, per ZXCVBNM.

The dab page's main header could thus be "The Loved One", "The Loved Ones" or even "Loved Ones", the last of which would require virtually no other changes since it already redirects to the dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:01, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have placed "please see" notifications at Talk:The Loved One and Talk:The Loved Ones. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:08, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support the alternative proposed. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:08, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
