Move to Higgs(disambig) and redirect to Higgs Boson or Peter Higgs as Primary topic
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. 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.
The result of the proposal was Non-admin speedy close. No arguments were given for redirect, nor any arguments on what to redirect Higgs to or why. Speedy closing with no prejudice to a fully formed proposal being mooted in the future.KarlB (talk) 14:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC) {{requested move/dated|Higgs (disambiguation)}}

- Oppose - the proposal contains the seeds of its own destruction: it's not at all clear to me what the 'primary' article should be. Higgs boson? Peter Higgs? Higgs mechanism? That's why a disambig page is needed. I do agree that if there is one predominant article and many less important ones, the proposed structure is appropriate. Example: David Scott goes to the astronaut. On that article there is a hat note to David Scott (disambiguation) which lists other less well known people called David Scott. But this only works if one is clearly more important than the others, which is not the case here. Woz2 (talk) 15:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose, there are 15 other articles linked to from the current page, why would one assume that Higgs refers to Higgs Boson? Zarcadia (talk) 19:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose; even the nominator doesn't even know which article should be primary. Powers T 17:50, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose: No reason to move Higgs to Higgs (disambiguation) unless we move (not redirect) something else to Higgs. And there is no obvious article to move. Not Peter Higgs because we almost always accord people the dignity of having a full name. And when did you last hear anybody talking about the recent possible discovery of the Higgs; it is always the Higgs Boson. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 13:00, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
