Officially being renamed 'Jackson College'[edit]

Jackson Community College is now Jackson College. I'm wondering where pages should be moved to. I think this article belongs at Jackson College, since it is the most common and likely result. The disambiguation page can be moved to Jackson College (disambiguation) and an {{otheruses}} template used. Thoughts? American Eagle (talk) 04:53, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working to get this completed as follows:

Delete the page at Jackson College (disambiguation) (which is merely a redirect)
Move the content and history of Jackson College to Jackson College (disambiguation)
Move this article (Jackson Community College) into the newly-defunct Jackson College article

And that's all. I'm seeking administrative help to get this done. American Eagle (talk) 03:24, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– Jackson Community College was officially renamed Jackson College ([1], [2]). The pages currently disambiguated at Jackson College are a small religious institution that burned down in the American Civil War, a school that absorbed into a Hawaiian college, and four schools that are obviously only listed for reference.

Comment: With seven articles being on the current dab page, it would be nice to have some evidence of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC status other than casual characterizations and an WP:OFFICIALNAME. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pages views for the articles considered, circa May 2013: [3]

Jackson College for Women - 46 times
Jackson College (Tennessee) - 55 times
Jackson [Community] College (Michigan) - 518 times

I know that pageviews do not determine the primary topic. However, the guideline states that an article should only be the primary topic if it is "much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined". We have three candidates for the primary topic: an 85-year-old institution with an enrollment of over 10,000, a name-only division of a school (for Women), or a small trade school that burned down in the 1800s. I feel that the gap between the Michigan school and the two others is wide enough to make it the primary topic. American Eagle (talk) 00:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support: OK, I think you've made your case. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jackson College for Women, being part of a four-year institution with a long tradition, seems a strong challenger for primary topic. Suggest just move to Jackson College (Michigan), and leave the existing dab at Jackson College. – Wbm1058 (talk) 22:55, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jackson College for Women is a name-only branch of a university. It is not a school, it is merely an honorary name for females to be given different degrees than men. American Eagle (talk) 00:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Jackson State University says that it used to be called "Jackson College" -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 23:21, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - as nom. Per reasons stated above. American Eagle (talk) 21:14, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
