Requested move 25 November 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. 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: Not moved. Battery life redirected to Battery (electricity)#Battery lifetime. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 22:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Battery life → Battery life (disambiguation) – This title is commonly linked to from other pages as battery life in the modern context generally means "how long a device can work on a single charge of its rechargeable battery", rather than "How long a device can work over the life of its primary cell". Therefore this page should redirect to Rechargeable battery with a hatnote pointing to the use with regards to the primary cell. Additionally, battery life is distinct from battery lifetime, and the hatnote should include such a mention. Saying this, I am even considering whether this disambiguation page should even exist, according to WP:TWODABS. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 14:57, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blank the dab page and redirect In ictu oculi (talk) 21:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Many modern devices have primary cells. I admit that it is increasingly common to have a rechargeable but looking around my house, devices with with primary cells are far from uncommon. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. SageGreenRider (talk) 02:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose primary cell batteries are the most common batteries, so pointing it to rechargeable is an unacceptable WP:BIAS. Instead convert to redirect to Battery_(electricity)#Battery_lifetime which covers both rechargeables and disposables. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:44, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- This option is probably less confusing than the current dab page. Therefore,...

Support a convert to redirect to Battery (electricity)#Battery lifetime per 70.51.44.60; oppose the current proposal. — AjaxSmack 08:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose - just redirect Battery life is identical primary topic to Battery lifetime which just -> #REDIRECTBattery (electricity)#LIFETIME . Suggest (whatever) close and just do that. Widefox; talk 09:50, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
