Requested move 14 August 2026
[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: not moved. This is largely just a relitigation of the discussion at Talk:Aegae (Macedonia)#Requested move 30 June 2026, which was closed as no consensus, albeit after this discussion was started. No actual new arguments were brought up during the month that this discussion was ongoing. I'm not going to impose a strict moratorium, but I strongly recommend not opening any related requested moves for the next few months unless there is significant new evidence.

- Note: the second proposal, "Aegae (Macedonia) → Aegae", conflicted with the move request at Talk:Aegae (Macedonia) and had to be removed from this request. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 15:42, 15 August 2026 (UTC)
- Procedural close. We would only move the disambiguation page to "Aegae (disambiguation)" if we thought there was a primary topic. The nominator seems to be arguing that the primary topic is Aegae (Macedonia), but their proposal at Talk:Aegae (Macedonia) to move that page to "Aigai" was recently closed as "No consensus". As my comment in that disussion makes clear, I believe that the Macedonian Aegae is in fact the primary topic, but this isn't the time or place to rehash that discussion. – Michael Aurel (talk) 08:16, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
- To editor Michael Aurel: what if the second proposal, which was removed, were to be restored to this request? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 17:55, 25 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Paine Ellsworth: I wouldn't say it affects my stance, as both proposals boil down to whether there's a primary topic (and the only Aegae that could reasonably be considered primary is the Macedonian one). I can't see that starting a second, essentially identical requested move on a different talk page while your first one is ongoing is appropriate, especially with a lacklustre rationale that supplies no new insights or evidence. But if yourself and others feel that this proposal is in fact legitimate, let me make lucid that I'm very much in support of the move itself. For my reasoning, refer to my comment in the first requested move. – Michael Aurel (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- I think that if supporters of Aegae and Aigai are counted together in the previous request for Aigai, there is majority over those who do not consider the Macedonian Aegae primary topic. I consider both Aigai or Aegae better than Aegae (Macedonia). Aetolorhode (talk) 15:47, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

- The second proposal has been restored, this date. From now, this proposal should last another seven days minimum. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 17:37, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose. Close and impose 3-month moratorium on related RMs. I disagree with the sentiments above that !votes from Talk:Aegae (Macedonia)#Requested move 30 June 2026 for Aigai can be combined with !votes here to support this move when the other discussion closed just a few weeks ago as 'no consensus'. If editors are still interested in a change, I suggest workshopping the various proposals before starting a single, fresh RM with all impacted pages properly tagged for the duration of the discussion. Collectively, these RMs have lasted over two months with eight relists. There's no sense in leaving this open and the low participation here cannot supersede the larger discussion on the other talk page. Note that the close at Talk:Aegae (Macedonia)#Requested move 30 June 2026 recommended workshopping and waiting at least three months before another formal RM. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:52, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
