Requested move

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: Renamed. Also moving Nanjing Road to Nanjing Road (disambiguation). Timrollpickering (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Nanjing Road (Shanghai) → Nanjing Road – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Nanjing Road was formerly a disambiguation page which I converted to a redirect because Nanjing Road in Shanghai, one of the most famous streets in China, is clearly the primary topic. A google search of "nanjing road shanghai" returns 2,590,000 results, whereas "nanjing road taipei" returns 366,000. If you only search for "nanjing road" without the city name, almost all results in the first few pages are about the street in Shanghai. In addition, Nanjing Road (Shanghai) receives about 200 views a day, while Nanjing Road (Taipei) gets less than 10. Zanhe (talk) 08:09, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

- Weak support - one of the few cases where a generic sounding road name really is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. On the other hand, confirming to the user/searcher they've found the Nanjing Road they were probably looking for isn't so terrible. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
- Restore disambiguation page it should be returned to Nanjing Road (disambiguation) and returned to being a dab page, also linking to the subway stations. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 07:26, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

- Support - per WP:PRIMARY. This page should be at Nanjing Road. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 21:06, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- I presume you mean per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; WP:PRIMARY is about primary sources. --B2C 05:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Support. Compelling evidence that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. --B2C 05:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]- Any additional comments:
- I have history-merged Nanjing Road (disambiguation) to Nanjing Road. (Both were disambig pages at the time.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:01, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
