Requested move 15 September 2017 edit

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: The page has been moved to "Find (Windows)". Even though there was no oppose to any particular title here, there was a clear consensus that the page needs to be moved. Given the situation/discussion at Talk:Find (Unix)#Requested move 15 September 2017, and per WP:NCDAB; the title "Find" being a disambiguation, and moving the respective command articles to "Find (Windows)", and "Find (Unix)" is the most logical choice. —usernamekiran(talk) 14:08, 23 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Find (command) → Find (Windows) – See related RM at Talk:Find i.e. proposed move to Find (Unix). Both of these articles with roughly equal page views are Find "commands" but the DOS/Windows command is completely different to the Unix command. Find (DOS) can redirect to (Windows) or vice-versa.

And there is the command "find!" sometimes given to a dog. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Comment: Would Find (Windows command) work? ONR (talk) 00:31, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Support Find (Windows command) as the clear but concise option per User:Old Naval Rooftops. — AjaxSmack 01:39, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Support the original proposal per WP:NCDAB – If there are several possible choices for parenthetical disambiguation, use the same disambiguating phrase already commonly used ... if any. Otherwise, choose whichever is simpler. For example, use "(mythology)" rather than "(mythological figure)". I find [sic] it pretty obvious that titles "find (Unix)" and "find (Windows)" refer to some feature or command of respective operating systems, so "command" is rather redundant.

As nom I have no preference between (Windows) or (Windows command), either way a move is needed. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:40, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
