– Speedy move was summarily declined. Pages should be moved for WP:CONSISTENCY with disembarkation and debark. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- Support first. Clear common term. Oppose second and move to Embarkation (disambiguation). It's a completely different case from debarkation and debark, since debark can have at least three completely separate meanings, whereas embark(ation) can only have one and "embarkation" is used in more of them than "embark". -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- That would require another move if there is any other thing that comes along named "Embark" that makes the name more common. There would also be a potential dispute between redirecting Embark to the transit agency or the disambiguation. I think that we should assume there could be more pages titled Embark and put it at the base name.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:31, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- We base titles on the state of our articles at the time, not what they may be in the future. However, as I said, "embark" only means one thing. "Debark" means at least three completely different things. The consistency argument therefore does not hold water. Embark should obviously be redirected to Embarkation (disambiguation), not to the organisation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:28, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
