Requested move 28 February 2017
edit- 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: Moved per the emerging consensus. I've left the redirect in place as there are several incoming links. If anyone wants to retarget that to the company or the dab page, please clean up the links. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:21, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Timshel → Timshel (Hell on Wheels) – Timshel is more notable as an Eric Schmidt start up, and referencing the series' name in brackets is more in alignment with how the other episodes are named.

- This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Amakuru (talk) 16:52, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose- no other article with this title. — Amakuru (talk) 16:52, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose. Timshel is not even mentioned in schmidt's article. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Support, should never have been moved from Timshel (Hell on Wheels). "Timshel", the Hebrew for "thou mayest" is an important theme in Steinbeck's East of Eden, and the song and the railroad drama TV episode are derived from the Steinbeck use. I have created a dab page at Timshel (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 19:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Is this even notable? Why do we have articles for the first 2 and half series and then they peter out...? Falling ratings? In ictu oculi (talk) 23:17, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Mild support. Now that Timshel (company) has been created, we need to revisit. Factoring in the dab page, the Hell on Wheels episode receives only 52% of the page views,[1] despite being at the base name. It's probable that some readers are intending some of the other topics without articles. None of the topics appear especially notable, but this one is probably not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Cúchullain t/c 14:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- It would make more sense to just point it to the disambiguation page over an article for a TV episode in a series with declining viewers. I would have moved it all myself, but it won't let me, I am blocked from moving it because the page already exists with a redirect on it. I am not familiar with how to do it.MeropeRiddle (talk) 17:56, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Weak support. Is it too early to determine a new primary topic? Ifso, would that make the DAB primary by default? – Reidgreg (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
