Guanabara (state) → Guanabara – Revert move which was done with invalid rationale "like Rio de Janeiro (state), Sao Paulo (state), Paraná (state), Acre (state)". Many incoming links are to this base name which now redirects to the pre-existing dab page, now a malplaced dab since the state was moved away from base name. The state appears to be the primary topic, and the article on the state should be moved back to the base name. PamD 14:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. No evidence provided that Guanabara state is the primary topic. If anything, I'd expect it to be Guanabara bay. There are few incoming links, easily fixable. Walrasiad (talk) 06:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Oppose as per Walrasiad, no evidence that this is the primary topic. Tiggerjay (talk) 03:47, 14 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
