The result of the move request was: done. Good support for album not being primary topic. DMacks (talk) 05:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply



– This dab page on a very common German surname was moved out of the way 30 January 2015‎ to insert a non-notable album. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:21, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've added a prod to album, if deleted Schock (album) should redirect to Eisbrecher (band) In ictu oculi (talk) 09:23, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. All the entries at the dab page are partial title matches. There is no information on the surname at all. The album, though a short article, appears to be the primary topic for "Schock" in English. Dohn joe (talk) 15:45, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
This is ridiculous, it is perfectly normal for surname articles to occupy baseline locations, see most of Category:German-language surnames and no reason to move this to (disambiguation) for an album which should go to AfD. This isn't even a dab page, it was a simple surname article until the creator of the album dislodged it. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
And further to that "Schock was" in books seems to refer 50/50 to Schock the drummer and Schock the Republican, no mention of an obscure German album. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:06, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Support. The surname is a distinct entity and certainly has a stronger claim for primacy than some minor album. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:06, 17 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. Agree with Dohn joe (who removed IIO's PROD) that the album is notable, but IMO it's sufficiently obscure that we'd need some surprising evidence to consider it the primary topic. Andrewa (talk) 22:14, 22 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
