Disambiguation

edit

I don't beleive that the New Zealand small town is significantly more notable than some of the other meanings, so maybe it should be moved to Raglan, New Zealand with this disambiguation page moved to Raglan. dramatic (talk) 08:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Support. Are you suggesting that [[Raglan]] should redirect to this page rather than to Raglan, New Zealand? If so, I agree. Raglan NZ may be locally important, but in its own way so is Raglan, Monmouthshire in Wales, which is the original place called Raglan and which led to the earldom (and castle) and then to all the other names. If [[Raglan]] is to point to any one place it should be there, as in my view it is the "primary topic", but if there is any disagreement on that point I'd be happy for it to direct to this disambiguation page rather than the NZ location.

Just to clarify my understanding of the original proposal - the disambiguation page would be Raglan simpliciter, and Raglan (disambiguation) would redirect to Raglan. If that's incorrect, perhaps additional clarification is needed. Tevildo (talk) 16:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom; although I would agree with Ghmyrtle that Raglan, Monmouthshire has the best claim to being "the" Raglan, and wouldn't object to it being at Raglan either. However, I don't think we can say (at this stage) that it's definitely the primary meaning; this may change with more input, though. Tevildo (talk) 16:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
By Raglan do you mean [[Raglan]]? - just a little confused because Raglan currently goes to [[Raglan, New Zealand]]. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
It looks as though someone is implementing the move unilaterally - at 4:30 this afternoon, the New Zealand town article was at [[Raglan]], and [[Raglan, New Zealand]] didn't exist. We'll see what happens... Tevildo (talk) 21:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Twas me. Sorry, I didn't see the fully discussion, I just saw this listed at requested moves and figured it was noncontroversial enough. I'm waiting for the redirect at Raglan to be deleted, and then I'll move the disamb page. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 21:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please fix the many links to Raglan before nominating it for deletion. Leaving so many redlinks is inappropriate.-gadfium 00:01, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Done. Tevildo (talk) 15:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've moved the dab page to Raglan, as it seems to be the consensus here. If there's anything else needed, let me know. Parsecboy (talk) 01:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
