Comment the nominator performed a cut-and-paste move [1] to return it to its previous title -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 02:23, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment@Doktorbuk: As a long-term editor (even longer than me!), you should really know better than to recreate an article at the original title after a move has taken place – I have reinstated it as a redirect for now. No comment on the move request - I know it's in line with the naming convention, but I have a very low opinion of the convention (it was passed with just four editors in support) and I can't bring myself to support its implementation - I still can't see how unnecessary disambiguation is a good thing.

User:Number 57, the issue has been discussed at length, over many, many years. It has been agreed, and the convention has been made official, that we use the disambiguation in article titles. The move was made without discussion or consensus (which I believe to be against the rules), and I want it moved back. This article cannot stand alone as a "one off" without any good reason, can it ? doktorbwordsdeeds 16:33, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not "against the rules" to move an article unless someone moves it to a title that a requested move has been held on and rejected. And for future reference, you could have simply moved it back yourself if you hadn't decided to turn the redirect into an article! To be clear, I'm not going to oppose the move request because it is in line with a guideline, but I can't actively support something that runs so contrary to common sense.

I think there's a way I can move this back but I'll have to chin-stroke over it doktorbwordsdeeds 16:13, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
