Not moved. No consensus to move and serious questions about there being a primary use. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Ghost light → ghost light (disambiguation) —
- label as disambig page Twinsday (talk) 23:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Relocate as someone has objected on talk page of article. Keith D (talk)
- Comment isn't there a naming guideline that suggests the requested target is improper? 70.29.211.138 (talk) 05:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- I object to this move on the grounds that it may be based on a misconception. We do not need to add "disambiguation" to a page to have it classed under disambiguation pages. PatGallacher (talk) 00:41, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: the history here is somewhat confusing. There's some earlier discussion at Talk:Ghost light (disambiguation). The key question is whether there is a primary topic for the phrase "ghost light". If there is, the article titled Ghost light should take the reader to the article on that topic (even if that article doesn't actually have "ghost light" in its title), and the disambiguation content should be at Ghost light (disambiguation). On the other hand, if there's not a primary topic, Ghost light should be the title of the disambiguation page, which will take readers to whichever meaning they're looking for.
Personally, I suspect that there isn't a primary topic (a Google search starts with references to the theatrical meaning, but goes on to will-'o'-the-wisps, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Doctor Who pretty quickly). So I would oppose the proposed move. Incidenally, I think that maybe there's some history merging that needs to be done between ghost light and ghost light (disambiguation). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 09:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC) - Oppose; if there's no primary topic, the disambiguation page should be at the main title.
