Move?

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. A number of alternatives have been proposed, but the current title appears to have the most support and there is little demonstrable risk of ambiguity. Mkativerata (talk) 19:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Rob Mitchell (Victorian politician) → ? — Relisted. Rob Mitchell (Australian Labor politician)??? Vegaswikian (talk) 01:34, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Robert Mitchell dab page seems to have 3 similarly named politicians that arguably overlap the Victorian era, so "(Australian Labor politician)" (or the longer version) seems like a good idea. 76.121.3.85 (talk) 06:34, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • the only reason that a move would be necessary would be if there was a politician from the Victorian era called Rob Mitchell with an article. There isn't so there is no actual ambiguity. Disambiguation is designed to allow readers to find the appropriate article, not provide additional information on the topic. Use of the term "Victorian" allows the reader looking for this specific article to find it. Besides, do we ever really use the term "Victorian" meaning the era as a disambiguation term anyway. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 11:23, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Australian Labor (Party) politician" sounds good to me, but if the state were to be used, perhaps "Victoria politician" to avoid the ambiguity? (Although I agree the ambiguity is not a huge problem anyway.) --Kotniski (talk) 11:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
