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: Not moved. Nominator has not presented a good reason for a move. Neither the village nor the surname is a primary topic for "Sivak". (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 01:33, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Sivak (surname) → Sivak – the latter page is not a valid disambig page. Loew Galitz (talk) 19:50, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose, it looks fine as a disambig?--Ortizesp (talk) 21:48, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- The other entry goes to a page titled Sibak, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Presuming that it's the correct title for that article (which I have no opinion on), I would support eliminating the disambiguation page in favor of a hatnote. Adumbrativus (talk) 07:47, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. Why isn't it? No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose as malformed; I believe OP is suggesting that Sivak (surname) be merged into the dabpage at Sivak. See WP:MERGE. 162 etc. (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment @Adumbrativus: @Necrothesp: @162 etc.: You didnt read my nomination carefully: per WP:MOSDAB, Sivak is not a valid disambig page: it has only 2 items. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:59, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Your proposal is to move Sivak (surname) to Sivak, and make the current dabpage disappear. That's a merge. 162 etc. (talk) 00:33, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- No it is not. It is deletion of invalid dab page (done all the time; I can nominate it for deletion right now, if you want legalistic nitpicking) + page move. Loew Galitz (talk) 03:22, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Loew Galitz: Dab pages with two entries are in fact perfectly valid if neither entry is primary. I fear you have misunderstood the guidelines. Please see WP:NOPRIMARY. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:49, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

- Comment There is a related discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sivak. 162 etc. (talk) 02:41, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment It still strikes me as weird that a disambig page has only two entries, the other one being basically a disambig itself. and another title spelling does not match. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- The fact the name we have chosen for the article is different doesn't make this spelling any less valid. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
