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. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move. After extended time for discussion, there is a clear absence of consensus for the proposed move at this time. With respect to the disambiguation question, since the place name is already linked in the lede of the base page name article, there does not appear to be anything that would be changed by such a reclassification, except that the source currently on the page would need to be removed, as these are not permitted on disambiguation pages. I am not seeing a clear case for removal of the source in this discussion. BD2412 T 06:42, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

– The surname is unlikely to be primary over the village it was named after and should be moved to Barsby (surname). The village Barsby, Leicestershire can be moved back or a DAB page can be created. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:32, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • @Crouch, Swale: But is the village primary over the surname? The current situation with a disambig page at the plain name, looks satisfactory to me. 09:08, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
    Is the surname primary over the village? I've added content for the origin of the name so its now a proper surname article rather than just a DAB anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. This discussion should be closed and the page moved back to Barsby as a point of procedure. What has been done, moving the page first without discussion then starting a discussion about moving it back, seems the wrong way to go about things. By WP:BRD the move should have been reverted first, and then a discussion started if anyone felt the move was needed. I don't think it was needed, the village is the primary topic, and making this move has left other pages pointing to the wrong subject. --94.196.55.226 (talk) 21:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
    For the record I'm still fine with having a DAB instead but as you say the undiscussed move should be reverted (unless there's a consensus against) but it doesn't matter if its at the "wrong" location for a week or so. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:04, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
