Requested move 13 June 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: Move. We have consensus that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the plain term "Mungana"; the move is therefore suitable according to the relevant guidelines. Cúchullain t/c 17:44, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Mungana, QueenslandMungana – Unique name not requiring disambiguation, as indicated by the fact that the plain name redirects to "Mungana, Queensland" - i.e. no disambiguation page. Was moved to "Mungana" then immediately moved back with the comment " huge need to disambiguate that" but no actual reason given. Both Mungana railway station and Mungana affair have natural names (both of which are derived names anyway) that can either be linked to in the article or hatnoted. --Relisted.

  • Oppose. The Mungana affair is much, much more notable than the ghost town itself, and besides the railway station, and the railway line, there's also a current ASX-listed resources company. Outside of the context of en masse moves of place names that sound vaguely indigenous, it's an obvious candidate for a disambiguation page. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:01, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the current title is vastly more understandable in comparison than the proposed title. GregKaye 18:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When searching Wikipedia for "mungana", the following are the top five titles returned for me.
1 Mungana affair
2 Mungana
3 Chillagoe, Queensland
4 Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park
5 Kagara Ltd
The 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th are immediately recognisable as: a politcal event, a populated place, a national park, and a company. The second is unclear, I think it sounds like a material, and is therefore not a good title. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
