Requested move 3 May 2015

The following is a closed 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 to Guessing. Consensus seems clear this is the main topic, and it took me about 4 hours to get this move done right but oh well. Thanks Anthony! (non-admin closure) EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 22:41, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Guess → Guess
Guess → Guess (disambiguation)

– I propose that the clear primary topic of "guess" is the act of drawing a swift and tentative conclusion from data directly at hand. Up until now we have had no article on this topic, because it is highly abstract and difficult to write. However, with a little help, I have written a reasonably thorough article on the topic. I therefore propose to make this the primary topic of "Guess" (and also to retarget Guessing there, which currently points to a town in Austria). bd2412 T 17:01, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In principle, of course, this is an easy support... but I would rather move the draft article to guessing. It would, of course, have primary topic for guess as well. Red Slash 03:37, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no strong objection to that - the guess is the thing, guessing is the act. By contrast, we have thought with thinking redirected to it and smile with smiling redirected to it, but juggling with juggle redirected to it, crying with cry redirected to it, and walking with walk redirected to it. bd2412 T 03:43, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to guessing as the process. (add a hatnote to guess (disambiguation) and Güssing, Guessing (district), Guessing Game (disambiguation) to the article) move "guess" to "guess (disambiguation)" -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- That is definitely workable. In fact, I was also thinking of proposing to merge the long-time stub Guessing game into this article. bd2412 T 13:18, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per PRIMARY. CookieMonster755 (talk) 03:12, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving into article space as guessing. Brirush (talk) 14:07, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Proposed merges

I propose to merge both Guessing game and Error guessing into the "Uses of guessing" section of this article. Both are long-time stubs with little evidence of any likelihood of future expansion. bd2412 T 21:19, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia games?

Is there a reason this is separate from the Trivia page? I would think Trivia games count as a sub category of Guessing games. --BlinksTale (talk) 07:11, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
