Move to SMS Graf Spee[edit]

Objection - this proposed move is not listed on Wikipedia:Requested moves. -- Arwel (talk) 02:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've removed the move template. If a move is still required, please follow the instructions at WP:RM --Lox (t,c) 14:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This seemed to me to be an uncontroversial and unobstructed move that is permitted. Graf Spee was a person (the WWI admiral), while SMS Graf Spee was a ship named after him. The move seems to be a no-brainer.Cosal 16:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The move is likely to be uncontroversial, but was not unobstructed - I'm going to go ahead and list it now. --Lox (t,c) 17:08, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, since few people are likely to know Graf Spee's first name, it would also make sense to have the "Graf Spee" page point to the page "Maximilian von Spee".Cosal 16:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I only objected last time because it wasn't properly listed on WP:RM. - Arwel (talk) 20:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Add any additional comments

Comment While I don't consider this to be a controversial move, an objection was raised previously. I am therefore leaving it open to vote. This move would be to conform to other titles in the Category:World War I battleships of Germany and to follow Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) --Lox (t,c) 17:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

I was going to add it myself, but it seems Arwel Parry has done it already, great job! --Lox (t,c) 10:24, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
