The result of the move request was: no consensus to modify the current primary topic arrangement. (non-admin closure) Colin M (talk) 20:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– No clear primary topic given the other 4 places with this name and the other PTMs[[1]]. Also the others are stand alone settlements while this is a part of a larger one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. Colin M (talk) 21:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The Manchester suburb looks like a solid primary topic to me, of the other four places in England one is merely a redirect and none are of comparible size or significance. PC78 (talk) 13:59, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The dab page suggests it's needed. No clear primary topic. It seems that the nominator may be desiring to move "Withington, Manchester" to "Withington" because it's shorter; however, I assume Withington is the equivalent of a village of a regional township, so for non-UK residents like myself, it makes sense to include the larger jurisdiction. And, piped links are cheap.

Enthusiastic Support per nom, and kudos to the nom for proposing this. As noted on my talkpage, I am less of a fan of primary topics and an enthusiastic dab page (without parenthetical qualifiers) supporter. There's no clear primary topic here. Apologies for my confusion—feel free to trout me, if desired. --Doug Mehus T·C 16:22, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmehus: I don't understand what you're saying, the DAB page is indeed needed and its being proposed to be moved to the base name. The other part of the proposal is to move the place in Manchester currently at "Withington" to "Withington, Manchester". You're comment suggests you support this move but you're !vote suggests otherwise. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:15, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Crouch, Swale, Oh, I was confused. Are you proposing to move the DAB page to not have a parenthetical qualifier? If so, then yes, I support that wholeheartedly. And, kudos to you for being one of the few editors who prefer DAB pages without parenthetical qualifiers. Doug Mehus T·C 17:18, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the proposal is that the DAB page will be at the base name without the "(disambiguation)" per WP:DABNAME. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:40, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
