Merger proposal
editThere is heavy overlap between The Examiner and Examiner (disambiguation), and I don't see a compelling reason for there to be separate dabs. Nick Number (talk) 19:28, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Moved as proposed. There is clear consensus as to the clear primary topic of the word, "Examiner". bd2412 T 18:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Examiner (disambiguation) → Examiner – Examiner currently redirects to The Examiner (1808–86) (inconsistently with The Examiner, which redirects to this dab). There are so many publications with this name that it doesn't appear that there is a single primary topic. Thus the dab should be moved to Examiner. There was some previous discussion of this in 2007 and 2009. Nick Number (talk) 22:08, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose the article page does not cover a single subject that is has fits the title "Examiner" but contains a list of over twenty different subjects. I have changed the redirect to end at Examiner (disambiguation). GregKaye 10:22, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- I strongly suggest you revert that edit until a) this discussion comes to a consensus; b) until the >100 incoming links to "Examiner" are resolved. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Likewise but o≠w has done it. 101.170.127.225 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- The logic of this escapes me completely. 101.170.127.225 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

- Support. No primary topic, and GregKaye's suggestion would result in a WP:MALPLACED disambiguation page. I have reverted Greg's change of target as disruptive pending the outcome of this discussion. older ≠ wiser 11:54, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support. No item listed on the disambiguation page is a primary topic. No general subject covered in the encyclopedia is a primary topic either. In any case, redirecting from Examiner to Examiner (disambiguation) is erroneous; the disambiguation content should be at the shorter title. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 21:14, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support only need one Examiner/The Examiner dab and this should be it. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:25, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support exactly per In ictu oculi 13:11, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support. Clearly no primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:08, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support. No primary topic. 101.170.127.225 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support - obviously no primary topic, so the shorter version is the better version. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
