Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. 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 proposal was procedural close. This is largely redundant to the ongoing RM at Talk:Duwamish tribe#Requested move. Please comment there. It's good to have formal notification here at the dab talk page, though. --BDD (talk) 17:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Duwamish → Duwamish (disambiguation)
Duwamish tribe → Duwamish

– The Duwamish (tribe) title was moved by Kwami on Dec 13 2010 to Duwamish tribe. I thought I remembered this being at plain Duwamish though can't see sign of that on the history of either title. The problem with either "tribe" dab is that this is not a federally-recognized tribe, so that dab is inherently flawed. The two-word Duwamish River title is not a valid candidate for PRIMARYTOPIC for the standalone term "Duwamish", but for sake of argument (and I'm sure someone will show up with the usual...) here are the view stats:

"Duwamish tribe" was viewed 2420 times in 201403
"Duwamish River" was viewed 1729 times in 201403
"Duwamish Head" was viewed 151 times in 201403
Duwamish (fireboat) was viewed 252 times in 201403

Despite the ongoing claims that items such as "FOO River" are PRIMARYTOPIC candidates, that is not according to guidelines; the only standalone use of Duwmamish that is a PRIMARYTOPIC candidate is Duwamish tribe, whom the river was named for. Skookum1 (talk) 15:25, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
