Talk:Imagery (disambiguation)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Imagery (literature) → Imagery per suggestion and discussion below. Image has more traffic, but makes only passing mention of "imagery" in a caption. Incoming links at brief glance appear to intend the literary meaning as well. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Imagery (disambiguation) → Imagery – Imagery exists, but is a one-line stub that is redundant to Imagery (literature). Imagery was PRODed ([1]) based on this redundancy, but deletion of the article would lead to an anomaly: no article named "Imagery", but multiple disambiguated pages, with the messy result that someone looking for an article on imagery of any type would not find it easily. Per WP:DABNAME, this article Imagery (disambiguation) should be moved to Imagery, and turned into a redirect to it.

The tiny bit of content currently in Imagery has been merged to Imagery (literature). More info at Talk:Imagery. TJRC (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose. IMO, Imagery (literature) is the main topic and should be moved to Imagery. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
• Support the main topic would be image, since imagery is a mass of images. So a disambiguation page at imagery would be suitable. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 08:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
• Comment from nom - I agree with 70.24.251.71; if there is a primary topic, it is Image rather than Imagery (literature). Image has about 8x the traffic of Imagery (literature) ([2], [3]); and Image has about 500 incoming links ([4]) compared to Imagery (literature)'s 150 or so ([5]); and more than half of the latter's links come from the artificial doubling due to the transclusion the {{Narrative}} template ([6]).

That being said, it wouldn't break my heart to go with Clarityfiend's proposal. My primary objective here is to un-hide all the articles currently being masked by the Imagery stub. TJRC (talk) 18:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
