• Oppose Celtic religion and Anglo-Saxon religion. (clarification) Steel1943 (talk) 06:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC) I object to both of these. Disambiguation pages don't need to be at a title containing (disambiguation), and it's better not to have them at such titles. If the nominator believes that there's a primary topic for these terms, he should open a standard move request to discuss it. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
• I don't think any of these should be made as uncontroversial technical moves. older ≠ wiser 13:55, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Transferred from Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Contested technical requests by Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose. These are not ambiguous topics; they are lists of subtopics within a single concept. bd2412 T 17:59, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
• Support – "Anglo-Saxon religion" is used as an umbrella term for the religious history of Britain, but it's not a single concept with comparable subtopics, especially "Anglican Church" and "Presbyterianism"—the term "Anglo-Saxon" isn't used to describes them. --Article editor (talk) 00:13, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Compare, however, Religion in the United Kingdom, which covers diverse religions as a single topic. bd2412 T 16:49, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose Celtic polytheism → Celtic religion. As you can see from the current disambig page, there's at the very least Celtic polytheism and Celtic Christianity as subsets of "Celtic religion". You can only limit "Celtic" to polytheism if you consider that the Celts did not survive as peoples into the Christian era, and I think you'd get a lot of disagreement on that. Leave Celtic religion as a disambig or brief overview, and Celtic polytheism as is. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:19, 19 October 2013 (UTC) ETA: having had time now to review the other suggested moves, Oppose all of the above suggested moves. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:30, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose all except Hungarian Neopaganism. The Anglo-Saxons were probably best known for their Christianity, not their earlier paganism, so moving Anglo-Saxon paganism to Anglo-Saxon religion is just plain wrong. Likewise Celtic polytheism to Celtic religion and probably Germanic paganism to Germanic religion. The Hungarian one is fine, but shouldn't have been included with the others. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose all except Hungarian Neopaganism, which merely corrects the capitalization. The other titles are more accurate descriptions of the articles. older ≠ wiser 17:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
