Vikings (TV documentary series)

Vikings (TV documentary series) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|archive|watch) (RM)

Given the controversy regarding this discussion, I think this should not have been closed by a non-admin. Stronger weight should have been given to the arguments that were supported by the guideline, which admittedly was changed while the discussion was taking place. The close should also have taken into account the result of the move at Talk:Vikings (2013 TV series)#Requested move 13 January 2018. To be fair, the whole discussion has been a mess. Given the recent change in the WP:NCTV guideline, which happened while the discussion was taking place, I also don't think any prejudice should have been given regarding a future move, as the guideline now expressly mentions that genre should not be used. --woodensuperman 09:02, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just noting that the NCTV guideline change was addressed by the nominator a week before the RM closed. --AussieLegend () 10:23, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, but the closing editor does not seem to have taken this into account in the close summary. --woodensuperman 11:39, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, although with an option missed. The close was correct as to not moving to "TV series", but it seems the discussion was reaching a consensus, before the close, to drop "TV" and shorten the name to "Vikings (documentary series)" or just "Vikings (documentary)". Randy Kryn (talk) 13:12, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    "(TV series)" was never on the table, as other TV series called "Vikings" exist. There was no consensus for the last option either, and this would have made the article title even more at odds with our naming conventions. --woodensuperman 13:48, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Although I would prefer a truncated dab over “TV documentary series,” I have to say I don’t think we were nearing consensus for it; there was only minority support super late in the discussion, and this after a WP:SNOWBALL for that very proposal. I also disagree with not moving to “[year] TV series” (see my comment below). —67.14.236.50 (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, that (TV documentary series) descriptor is quite an earful, just a little bit over the edge of a comfortable title. On the above, I knew it was "2013" but left that out as assumed, so that was me being unclear and incomplete. "documentary series" would do this one well, I think, and lessen the oddness of the present title. I've looked, but don't see your comment below. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:23, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Randy Kryn: I hope with these replies alone, you understand why it would've been blatant wrong to implement "any move", hence my reason for closing it the way I did. There's no general support for any title.–Ammarpad (talk) 21:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, and I agreed with your close. Would have been nice to take the "TV" descriptor off, but there were many comments going in lots of different directions, and along with the recent RM's on the same topic, your close was appropriate. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • From my read, there were very strong policy-based arguments for moving it to “[year] TV series,” and primarily WP:IDONTLIKEIT arguments against. The closer did not seem to take this into account, nor the fact that the historical drama is currently located at Vikings (2013 TV series) (as per standard naming conventions) and not Vikings (TV drama series). —67.14.236.50 (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I’m taking the liberty of quoting Ammarpad’s closing rationale from his talk page:

    *@67.14.236.50: First, the close is not arbitrary sole "exception to the consensus [against disambiguating by genre]" as your question tried to allude. Disambiguating by genre is not the only result of the RFC, the following clause is also in the result:

    "If this [referring to (TV series) disambiguator] does not resolve the ambiguity, a consensus of editors on the article's talk page should determine what additional disambiguation qualifier is appropriate, on a per-article basis." Source

    • On that article, "(TV series) disambiguator" is not sufficient as there's already historical drama with similar name. Therefore pro-move, bare !votes like this has little weight in consensus determination.
    • There was move request closed with clear opposition against move Only 3 weeks ago.
    • You started another RM earlier [to an entirely different dab], after it garnered substantial opposes you withdraw so as to "propose another".
    • Then you started another RM. It was relisted twice and the discussion went moot, the last comment before my close was yours on February 2, my close was on February 8, i.e 6 days later. I perused the entire discussion and each side has fair points but I didn't see consensus for move. Before writing this reply, I reviewed the discussion again and I still stand by my close. if you still believe I am wrong, or this explanation is not enough, or you just don't agree, please request for a review at the appropriate venue. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
    Please note that the “clear opposition” he refers to consisted of erroneous claims that a “TV series” is by definition a scripted drama. (@Ammarpad: please feel free to revert this comment if you object to my quoting you.) —67.14.236.50 (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse.

    Vicksburg

    Vicksburg (talk|edit|history|logs|links|archive|watch) (RM)

    Throughout this discussion there were 6 arguments supporting the move and 4 opposed. No evidence that the oppositions are more convincing than the supports (one of them appears to be a version of wp:OTHERSTUFF.) Consensus seems to have established that the Mississippi city is the primary topic. Bneu2013 (talk) 05:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • You should've Please attempt to discuss the matter with the discussion closer as this could resolve the matter more quickly. There could have been a mistake, miscommunication, or misunderstanding, and a full review may not be needed..... Anyhow, 6-4 is generally below what is called a consensus if you're going by vote-counting. Looking at the arguments, after the siege of vicksburg was brought up and discussed, people were mostly opposed, and other than kenneth no one argued against that despite a relist. Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:47, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems from below that you think that consensus is just a majority; generally taken to be ~2/3. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Galobtter: No I don't, see below. I just don't see how the four oppositions are significantly more convincing than the supports. Bneu2013 (talk) 06:39, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Endorse close. –I would've close it as such if I were the closer too. You claimed one oppose is WP:OTHERSTUFF but you failed to mention that the first three support !votes are bare assertions without convincing argument. If we discount that one delete !vote you're not fine with, then we we've to discount these 3 support !votes equally, and that will take us to (ironically) 3/3 !votes, thus perfecting "no consensus" close from double fronts; both on arguments forwarded and vote count. This is also helpful guide on your view on page views. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Endorse. Good decision – in a few months editors may continue attempting to achieve consensus as is usual when the outcome is "no consensus.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  06:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Endorse (no consensus). If, after a couple of months, you nominate again, try to make a better nomination statement. The advice at Wikipedia:Renominating_for_deletion#Advice_on_renominating applies equally to this sort of thing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:13, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
