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. 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: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 10:01, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Move. Per the material in the diff presented, the Gostiny Dvor space would be better provisioned for an actual article, rather than a disambiguation page. Also, I was considering just boldly performing the move myself; however, upon looking through the edit history of Gostiny Dvor, I realized that a bold move would have been considered controversial. There have been a few editors who have went back and forth on reverting this article, making it a true article page, then a disambiguation page, and so forth.

I am theoretically in favor of the proposed move but the problem is that there is really no article about gostiny dvors at English Wikipedia. The "full-article version" is just material forked from other articles bar the three intro sentences. It would be nice if there was something in place more like the Russian version before a move was conducted. — AjaxSmack 05:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is, however, no prohibition on the repetition of some material in the encyclopedia in different contexts. The content provided in the historic version could be improved to convey that these are examples of notable Russian indoor markets, and of the history and development of this commercial structure. I have added a Google translation of the Russian Wikipedia article below. The fact that Russian Wikipedia has an article at this title instead of a disambiguation page is further evidence that this is a topic, and not merely an ambiguous term. bd2412T 18:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. It would be nice to have a couple of paragraphs in the English article (or on the talk page ready for the article) before a move though. — AjaxSmack 20:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's sort of a catch 22 there. Why go to the trouble of writing it up before it is known whether the page will be moved? bd2412T 02:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Move. There is plenty of need for a full article. The existing text at the old version of the article has room for improvement, but even in its present state, it would be an improvement on the existing disambiguation page. SchreiberBike (talk) 06:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
