Requested move 24 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: not moved by strong consensus. Andrewa (talk) 15:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Passed (band) → Passed – "Passed" currently redirects to Pass - has done so since 2005 - though none of the entries on the dab page are "passed"; the band seems to be the primary topic for the word, though a hatnote linking to the Pass dab page might be a useful addition. – PamD 21:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:41, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@User:PamD: The word "passed" means many things more important than a routine ephemeral pop music band. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:41, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does, but as an encyclopedia term "passed" is a past participle of a verb and not a form which readers are likely to expect to find. There is no entry on the dab page with "passed" in its title. If "Passed" continues to be a redirect to the dab page, we would need either a "Redirect" hatnote, not usual on a dab page, or a broadening of the scope of the dab page to explicitly include "passed", and its addition to taht page ... not clear where, either in the first list, or a new "Music" section with one entry, or a new "Other uses" section with one entry. None of these seem satisfactory, and it seems to me that the reader would be best served by allowing the group to be the primary topic of "passed", but adding a hatnote to its article to help readers who are actually looking for some sense of "pass".

strong oppose per Anthony Appleyard. Verb-forms redirect to the noun form articles or disambiguation page, since that's the way pages are named on Wikipedia, per WP:NOUN ; the disambiguation page lists many verb-action "pass" with noun-form articles. Several more uses occur at passing (disambiguation). -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose as all above for same reasons In ictu oculi (talk) 06:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Like others have stated, verb-forms should redirect to the noun form articles. Furthermore, I find no evidence that the primary topic for the search term "passed" should be a band that only has existed less than a year, whose article currently has only one citation, and is rarely mentioned when a do a Google search Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Obscure band against common word. Hmm, I wonder what the primary topic is... -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:06, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. per all above. The band do not have enough coverage to warrant primary topic over verb form dab. We should however add a dablink in Pass – nafSadh did say 21:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
