The result of the move request was: moved. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 09:34, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ofrenda (ritual offering) → Ofrenda – I attempted to create this page with an italicized title, but did not succeed. The current article on "Ofrenda" is a redirect to an album by a Mexican artist (a redirect I created by moving the page). I was attempting to clear space for this article on the altar for the Dia de los Muertos, but it doesn't look like I can do this without assistance. KDS4444^Talk 14:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd already made a disambuation page at Ofrenda and renamed this page to Ofrenda (ritual offering) before I saw this. I'm not opposed to moving it over the dab page, though. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 15:52, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support No need for a dab, per WP:TWODABS. This aspect of a prominent Mexican holiday should have primacy over a low-profile album. --BDD (talk) 22:49, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Easy support as the only topic in the English language that could be primary topic for "ofrenda". Red Slash 18:20, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Always one person?

The article suggests that these are usually for one person. Using movies as a guide is not the safest way to go but am wondering, in Coco the Ofrenda is for the whole family. Is this common? Any cites? is it a regional thing? ++Lar: t/c 04:54, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even just looking at the citations already present in the article, the first two state that there are usually multiple people commemorated, and the third doesn't specify that it should only be one individual. As far as I understand, there are no particular rules, but different offerings are left for different people, so there is no reason the article should be written as if only one person is being commemorated. Alternatively, some people may explicitly commemorate just the most recent dead, but the bloodline is implied. Wasechun tashunka^HOWL_TRACK 19:21, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

			:Even just looking at the citations already present in the article, the first two state that there are usually multiple people commemorated, and the third doesn't specify that it should only be one individual. As far as I understand, there are no particular rules, but different offerings ''are'' left for different people, so there is no reason the article should be written as if only one person is being commemorated. Alternatively, some people may explicitly commemorate just the most recent dead, but the bloodline is implied.
