Talk:Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate

Requested move 1 November 2023

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved by Uncle G. RM discussions to decide potentially controversial requests is not a place for being bold. It is a place where administrators use their judgment to determine when a request may be closed as a technical request (WP:RMT). This is the opposite of converting contested technical requests to full discussions. In an ideal world, most editors would know the difference. – wbm1058 (talk) 02:09, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate (Thomas Aquinas) → Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate – There don't seem to be any other works with the title Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate that have articles on Wikipedia. As such, I don't think that we need to have a parenthetical disambiguator in the article's title, since this is a fairly unambiguous search term. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:11, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. Since Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate redirects to Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate (Thomas Aquinas), then the parenthetical qualifier "(Thomas Aquinas)" indeed represents unnecessary disambiguation and the matter may well be considered an uncontroversial technical request. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:34, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
• To be honest, this seems to be an undisputed no brainer. Even the article creator wanted it at that title, per Special:Diff/645078095/1182976518. Even the person who nominated it for deletion wants it there. Having a formal requested move discussion about it seems to be a massive overkill. I was just going to boldly do it, at the end of the AFD discussion, until I saw that someone had come along and started a move discussion. Uncle G (talk) 22:24, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I'm just going to be bold. I don't foresee anyone reasonably objecting to this, and the target is nothing more than a redirect with zero edits. I pick capital "D" for "Disputatae". It's common (although so is all-lowercase), and what's requested. Uncle G (talk) 22:09, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

• Yeah, well there was zero "potential controversy" here. No-one disagreed, and the whole thing was pointless bureaucracy, as is your idea that we pile yet more bureaucracy on top of it to have another request discussed. Project:Be bold is a principle of long standing and goes back to Larry Sanger. Uncle G (talk) 11:37, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Uncle G, so why didn't your "boldness" extend to boldly closing the discussion, like I did? Do you think I'm your clerk? Are you familiar with the WP:RMCI page? wbm1058 (talk) 11:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
    • No one asked you to do anything, and I left the discussion open in the remote case that Project:Bold, revert, discuss applied. Again, you seem to be focused primarily on bureaucratic niceties. Project:Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. It's you who has decided that you are a clerk. No-one else. Uncle G (talk) 12:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
      • @Uncle G: what part of "Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed." do you not understand? You care to remove that "bureaucratic nicety" by boldly editing Template:Title notice to remove it? If you think there's a remote case that Project:Bold, revert, discuss applies, then you should leave the discussion open. "WP:DEADLINE", and all. Don't rush to move articles. wbm1058 (talk) 14:00, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Nice

The team that worked on this article over the last [casually checks watch] 24 hours (!!) did a very good job articling this encyclopedia article and I am very proud of you all. jengod (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
