Whitehorse → Whitehorse, Yukon – Whitehorse (one word) overwhelmingly refers to the city in Yukon, as discussed previously at Talk:White horse (disambiguation) 162.208.168.92 (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

• Suppport per WP:SMALLDETAILS.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:37, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
• Comment shouldn't this be the other way around, based on the description? From what I can tell, this move is proposing the disambiguation page be moved to the page mentioning Yukon. The move request should probably also list the move of the disambiguation page to Whitehorse (disambiguation) as well. Turnagra (talk) 04:47, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Currently both Whitehorse and Whitehorse (disambiguation) are redirects to White horse (disambiguation). Whitehorse, Yukon is the main article. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 05:52, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

So this should have been at RFD instead. Close as malformed. O.N.R. ^(talk) 06:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

WP:RFD does not handle this kind of request: If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. WP:RM is the correct venue, it's just that the request is backwards. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 08:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, so the request should be Whitehorse, Yukon → Whitehorse, not the other way around? Turnagra (talk) 07:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

• Move Whitehorse, Yukon to Whitehorse as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by pageviews among all topics named "Whitehorse" [1]. Do not move white horse (disambiguation) as the clear majority of topics on that page are written with a space. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 08:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
• Yes this is malformatted but its clear what the proposer is proposing so a closer can close as such since the page benefiting has anyway been notified (not necessarily that it matters if the page not notified benefits from the move). Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
• Comment I think this one is marginal. Until August, Whitehorse redirected to White horse (the animal). I retargetted it to the dab after fixing its 14 links, all of which were for the Yukon city. However, there are other significant meanings, notably the Australian City of Whitehorse which has a population seven times that of the Yukon city. Certes (talk) 11:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
