Requested move

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 per request. Favonian (talk) 17:06, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beevers (surname) → Beevers – It seems strange, and slightly condescending, to assume that a reader searching for "Beevers" is a lousy speller. In general, I think it's unwise to assume someone has made a typo unless it's a very common one and you're redirecting to a much more notable topic. By all means, let's have a {{distinguish}} hatnote here pointing to Beaver, though. --BDD (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, per nom. bd2412 T 02:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment what do we do with Beever ? Is it a mispelling of 'beaver' or 'Beevers' ? Or should it be a disambiguation page? -- 65.94.77.36 (talk) 05:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe redirect to Julian Beever, who seems to be our only usage of that spelling? --BDD (talk) 15:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Beever should redirect to 'beaver' as a misspelling. No opinion on the request though.Hoops gza (talk) 17:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and thus per User:Born2cycle/UNDAB. --B2C 23:47, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, both the nominator's move suggestion as a superfluous disambiguation, and the use of hatnotes in general. 16:07, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

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.
