Wreck of the Mexico1837 wreck of the Mexico – This is not the only wreck of a ship named Mexico with an article on Wikipedia which has also been the subject of much coverage. Another wreck is covered at Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster -- and depends on whether you are British or American on which is prominent -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 08:45, 30 October 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

  • Note - discussion opened as there appears to be controversy regarding this move request. Although the policy-based reason for moving seems solid enough, a technical request would likely have been disputed in this case. I previously moved Mexico (barque) to Mexico (barque, wrecked 1886), which has since been merged into Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster. I'm not touching the proposed title, but I would suggest (as above) something in the vein of Wreck of the Mexico (1837) (or any other title, I just feel that the year first is unusual for us and leads to more ambiguity)
Currently, Mexico (barque) was redirected to Mexico (disambiguation), but could have its own dab page if needed (but we should decide between that and Wreck of the Mexico, dealing with links if needed. ASUKITE 17:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
