Rationale?

I (and presumably some of the other participants in the discussion) would appreciate it if you could add a closing rationale to your decision at Talk:Vladimír Búřil#Requested move. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 18:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I don't understand how you came about the conclusion that there was "no clear cut consensus on the move" here. [1] There was indeed a consensus that "AhwazI" is not an appropriate term for the title as far Wikipedia policy on common names goes. Many of the "oppose" votes were canvassed on another article's talk page, and overall the oppose votes were in the minority by the margin of 1 to 2. The oppose arguments were also rather weak (see [2]) and did not address the main point that "AhwazI" contradicts our main Wikipedia page titles which are Ahvaz, and Iranian Arabs, so the loaded term "Ahwazi" is clearly against our policy on naming. Even Greyshark09 who is the creator of the page, and had been canvassing votes against the move, had actually conceded that "2005 Ahvaz unrest" was the more policy-appropriate term than "2005 Ahwazi unrest". [3] In light of all this, could you please reconsider your closing decision or at least realist the RM for further discussion and wider community input?

As the admin has also said: "Users are welcome to merge with Khūzestān Province." , but I think the best article to merge is Politics of Khūzestān Province. In fact ( contact ) 07:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I closed the move with this because the majority of people were saying to merge, and not to move. So if merging, the page could just be turned into a redirect. Also, contrary to your interpretation, I felt that the opposing comments had enough weight to merit a no-move. Regards, KiloT 11:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
