Requested move 02 February 2015

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: moved. Number 5 7 11:09, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Moerbeke-Waas → Moerbeke – The official name of the municipality is Moerbeke and is clearly the primary topic. Moerbeke is currently a disambig page with no other exact matches. – P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If not accepted, then move Moerbeke (disambiguation) to Moerbeke.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:25, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The disambig page is currently at Moerbeke (disambiguation). If page Moerbeke-Waas is moved to Moerbeke, a disambiguator will have to be added. Page Moerbeke-Waas starts "Moerbeke (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌmuːrbeːkə ˈʋaːs])", with a phonetic spelling representing "Moerbeke-Waas". What is the current status of the "-Waas" addition?

NOTE the nominator moved the disambiguation page off "Moerbeke" just before this nomination. This should have been converted to a multimove request, and is effectively a multimove request. Failure of this request should result in the return of the disambiguation page to its old location at the base name. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 13:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Sure, if this move is not accepted, you can put Moerbeke (disambiguation) back to Moerbeke. But "Moerbeke" is the official name, and the Official website even explicitly states that "Moerbeke-Waas" is officieus (=unofficial), only used sometimes to make a distinction between this place and the sub-municipality in Geraardsbergen, see here. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:49, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support A municipality is obviously the primary topic over a sub-municipality. No dab page is needed; a simple hatnote will do. Oreo Priest ^talk 21:32, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- A dab page is still needed: quick search shows that more links can be added to it. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per Oreo. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
