Support "consolation" should redirect elsewhere. -- Beardo 21:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
  • It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. Also, there is no place to redirect to. It may be moved later if an article on the concept of consolation is created or a sutible redirect target is fount. — Mets501  (talk 19:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Following the reasonable trend above, someone capable should make Consolation a disambiguation page that includes a redirect here, to Consolation (band).--Wetman (talk) 17:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2

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.

Moved in favor of a newly created primary topic article. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– RM is required because of old RM in 2006 (2 !votes for, none against, but not actioned). In ictu oculi (talk) 07:27, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nom gives no reason for move because it should be self-evident - as it was to Anthony A above. Dohn joe your comment above, if serious, is a misunderstanding of WP:NOTDICT: simply because we do not provide dictionary definitions does not mean we do not provide disambiguation pages. Consolation (disambiguation) and other WP:DAB pages are provided where there is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And please don't put back the dab page to list "Consolation" Dutch band as primary topic, it is just creating work for other editors. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:06, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • As an aside, yeah, In ictu oculi, you probably should have given a reason in the nomination. And actually, I think that an article could be written about consolation... we have a long and very encyclopedic article on mourning, so I would surely think we could write one on consolation. In the meantime, as you might expect, I do support because whether or not there's a primary topic to be found, this band surely is not it.

Thanks for the Support - I cited previous RM as rationale since I agreed with the previous RM rationale and comments of User:Helianthi User:Beardo and User:Wetmanand saw no need to do other than agree. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:36, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Justification for the move

[edit]

Alright, In ictu oculi sees it as unnecessary, but I don't, so with no disrespect whatsoever I'm going to list some evidence for Dohn joe; I see no reason whatsoever to assume anything but good faith in the oppose, so here's why the band does not have any precedence. Everyone who types in "consolation" has gotten the band article regardless of what they wanted to see. That's 1798 people over the last 90 days. Of these 1798, very roughly one in eight people have gone onto the disambiguation page (discounting the surge of views coming from us as we examine the disambiguation page! smile). Okay, so what's on that page that could be searched for? Well, for one, the album, which has 2746 throughout the same timeframe. (Believe you me, I'm as surprised as any.) There almost certainly will be a primary topic for an article on consoling people, some day, but in the meantime there's no primary topic here for the band. And again, User:In ictu oculi, you really should've put sources or some reasoning since even that previous RM did not include sources. Red Slash 20:29, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, interesting. Thanks for the numbers, Red Slash. So it looks then like as things stand, Consolation (album) should probably be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Consolation", right? If a primary topic-worthy article on consoling people gets written, then that might be a different story. Red Slash (and others) - what do you think? Dohn joe (talk) 01:30, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. A 3:2 margin is almost never enough to win WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It usually is enough to show the article on the 2 side of a 3-2 split is not going to be the primary topic, excepting extenuating circumstances (like long-term historical significance, like at Apple). Is there some reason that I have missed? Red Slash 01:51, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not essential to create an article

[edit]

In this case a good article has been created Talk:Consolation, but for the record Danzig, Defamation, Libel, Hurricane show that an article does not have to be created when a borderline Dutch metal group is sitting on a common synonym for other forms of comforting and counseling. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:46, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • As an interesting sidenote, I created comfort also. What can I say, I like the abstract topics. However, I think consolation is a distinct and important concept, and the best result for the encyclopedia is the creation of an article expressly addressing it. bd2412 T 04:02, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. There wasn't one as the de:Trost not being linked here illustrated. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:02, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
