Requested move 22 November 2014[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 03:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dir town, Pakistan → Dir, Pakistan – This is to reverse a recent move. The title Dir, Pakistan is long established, and a move would need discussion. If Dir, Pakistan is considered too ambiguous, i.e. the town is not the primary topic, an appropriate title would be Dir (town). The editor who moved the page also redirected the old title to a new article, Dir region, but has produced no evidence that Dir commonly refers to a "region", as opposed to the town or the former princely state, or the former District.

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support – As per your proposal. It's also worth taking a look at Upper Dir District and Lower Dir District, and the linked pages (in addition to Dir region; either the user who moved the article or other users have edited them to include uncited claims and original research. --V2Blast (talk) 22:57, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I can see no justification for the unsourced page Dir region or for Dir, Pakistan to redirect to it. There has been considerable addition of unsourced spurious material to these and related pages in the last few months, and this looks like a continuation of that effort.
