Requested move 21 December 2020 edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that Chicago Storm be renamed and moved to Chicago Storm (soccer).

result:
Procedural close. The target page, Chicago Storm (soccer), titles a page with significant content and so cannot be used as a target title unless it is also proposed to be renamed. Target titles must be either red links or redirects. (nac by page mover) P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 06:20, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Chicago Storm → Chicago Storm (soccer) – there are two teams historically named the Chicago Storm, both now defunct. I delineated between the teams by creating a Chicago Storm (soccer) having already established a Chicago Storm (professional softball team) page. I moved the content of the Chicago Storm page, which was specific to the soccer team to the new page and made this a disambiguation page. Perhaps the issue here is a copy and paste method, which may not carry forward history. My apologies if that is incorrect. The structure created is, I believe correct. The methodology may need some editorial assistance. My thanks. Nbeeker (talk) 21:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

In reviewing additional policies suggested by an editor, I believe this page as a disambiguation is correct as neither would be considered a primary topic. Both are, in essence, equally defunct historical teams. My error was using a copy and paste (not a move). My apologies, a clear error and a learning point. It strikes me that a hatnote offers alternatives to a primary topic, and while offered on each page to assist a reader, my read of the disambiguation and the starting point of determining a primary topic led me to convert this page to a disambiguation. Respectfully. Nbeeker (talk) 00:32, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Conversely, I can see the logic of simply having two pages - soccer and softball - without a disambiguation page. If a reader goes to the wrong page, a hatnote directs them otherwise, and there seem to be only two options that any research is revealing for the name. I'm truly curious as to the resolution of this discussion. Nbeeker (talk) 02:15, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
