Move? (2014)
[edit]- The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: oppose Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:31, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- And if so, first move the original Balisong to Balisong (disambiguation), with hatlink to it. Some people seem to want this move, so better discuss it properly. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: "Butterfly knife" appears to be the common name, but I have no preference. However, either way, the primary use of "Balisong" is for the knife. Therefore, Balisong should point to the article with content about the knife no matter what (whether a redirect or the actual article depends on this RM). The article about the knife should have an additional hatnote to the disambiguation page, which should be at Balisong (disambiguation) no matter the results of this RM discussion. --Scott Alter (talk) 02:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose no rational provided to override the 2011 consensus (see the requested move further up the page). -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 03:07, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - "a butterfly knife" far outweighs "a balisong" in printed sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:18, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
