Moira → Moira (disambiguation) – In my opinion, the primary meaning of "Moira" (on its own) is the singular of Moirai, the Greek Fates. Moira should be a redirect to Moirai, and the dab page should be explicitly named. Moira (disambiguation) already exists as a redirect. Tevildo (talk) 13:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose they are known as the "Fates" in English. There are many English-language placenames called "Moira", and those don't involve being primarily Greek-usage. The primary topic would be the derivation, Moira (given name) if there is one. -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 16:12, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would support the combined move Moira (given name) > Moira, Moira > Moira (disambiguation). Whether or not the current Moirai page should be at Fates or The Fates instead is another issue. Tevildo (talk) 17:10, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In a search on Moirai AND Moira the plural is the most commonly used and referenced form. A search on Moira does not reveal WP:PRIMARY. Gregkaye ✍♪ 16:40, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not even remotely in the ballpark of a primary topic. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. IMO Moira (given name) is the primary topic and should be "undabbed" accordingly, with the current page moved to Moira (disambiguation). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:06, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and move the given name to top of dab page alongside fate, as near-primary. PamD 05:50, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
