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: No consensus – Someone already did a move to add the year. The question of place might best be addressed in an new RM with a clear proposal and evidence. The question of year could also be re-opened. Probably both at once is too confusing to attract opinions. (non-admin closure) Dicklyon (talk) 02:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose pointed nomination just minutes after the previous request has been closed. House style normally adds the year, and there's no point in obfuscating the location. Grand-Bassam is well known, that's where it happened. Google hits are interesting, but nothing more. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:31, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Previous RM close recommended a new request to address question of place. Baking Soda (talk) 14:14, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
