Requested move 29 February 2016

Latest comment: 8 years ago7 comments4 people in discussion

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: Create a disambiguation page with both entries. -- haminoon (talk) 00:47, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Pangaimotu → Pangaimotu (Tongatapu)
Pangaimotu (Vavaʻu) → Pangaimotu

– Because the primary page for Pangaimotu should be the heavily populated island rather than an unpopulated tourist island. Note that Pangaimotu was originally the article for the Vavaʻu island but was changed by an IP editor to the Tongatapu island in 2008. The article for the Vavaʻu island was then recreated in 2014. -- haminoon (talk) 08:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Support first, oppose second, create TWODABS - classic example of two minor locations were a dab is needed, flip-flopping is a truly bad idea. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:19, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose as proposed Move the first, but do not swap with the second, instead create a disambiguation page at the base title -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:40, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Merge for chrissake – it's the one same island. Checked with both Bing and Google maps, all searches lead to the same place, even our coords are the same. No such user (talk) 13:34, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi No Such User, The co-ordinates for the Tongatapu article led to the Vavaʻu island. I have removed them now. I presume you know where Google gets its information? -- haminoon (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Scratch that: the Tongatapu one is at 21°07′27″S 175°09′32″W / 21.124183°S 175.158855°W / -21.124183; -175.158855 and it's barely 300 m in diameter. Do we even have to have an article about it? Support In ictu oculi's proposal. No such user (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Okay that appears to be a consensus for a dab page. With regard to whether the Tongatapu one needs a page: I don't know what the notability standard is for islands but I think being the only place you can legally get pissed on a Sunday from Nuka'alofa should make it notable. -- haminoon (talk)
