Requested move

The request to rename this article to Arches (disambiguation) has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Arches → Arches (disambiguation) – Having just finished fixing all incoming links to this link magnet, all but two went to arch (one went to a nightclub called "Arches" for which we have no article, and the other to Arches paper). Generally, the primary topic of a common plural should be the singular form, to which the title arches should redirect. bd2412 T 04:11, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; instead merge "The Arches" "Arches" and "Arch" disambiguation pages into one page. Then redirect "arches" to "arch". -- 70.24.247.121 (talk) 07:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Either option would be an improvement over the current status of things. However, JHunterJ is right that those are potentially two separate discussions. bd2412 T 15:54, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (and note that the above "Oppose" vote's result does not actually differ from moving it and then merging it -- if 70.24.247.121 would like to see them merged, that can be proposed independently, but they shouldn't be merged since they are predominantly independent sets). -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:47, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – a disambig page looks most appropriate here, given the multiples places and other things with this name. Dicklyon (talk) 03:15, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The existence of multiple places and other things does not prevent there being a primary topic. Many titles that have multiple ambiguities still have a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. But then this has been pointed out to you before. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving as plural of primary topic. The items listed here are all relatively obscure or are rarely referred to as simply "arches" without additional context. older ≠ wiser 12:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Move clear primary topic, and there is a high burden of proof to argue that slightly different grammatical forms should point to different pages. That said, I do support 70's idea that Arch, Arches and The Arches should be a single disambiguation page. Dondegroovily (talk) 13:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
