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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that The Steam Museum be renamed and moved to Steam Museum, Straffan.

result:
Moved as nominated. Leftover redirect will be re-targeted as ambiguous to the list mentioned in the nomination and the backlinks updated. The redirect can be dabified, if desired. (non-admin closure) -2pou (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Steam Museum → Steam Museum, Straffan – As per WP:THE, there is no reason for the definite article to appear in the title of this article. However, the variant without the definite article (Steam Museum) is an inappropriate title also. Given that, as per List of steam museums, there are multiple steam museums (all over the world) which are reasonably/locally described as "the steam museum" or "steam museum". And there is no way that this example is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Either for the current "The Steam Museum" title. Or a simpler "Steam Museum" variant. If it represents a COMMONNAME (as it seems it might) either this should be moved to Straffan Steam Museum (similar to Bolton Steam Museum, Pallot Heritage Steam Museum, Kew Bridge Steam Museum, etc). Or, if "Straffan Steam Museum" is not a natural DAB/COMMONNAME, to its full name "The Steam Museum & Lodge Park Walled Garden Lodge Park". Or, perhaps most appropriately, closer to where it was before. To the simpler (and less DAB problematic) "Steam Museum, Straffan". Whatever the case, it should be moved. As the current title is not consistent with WP:THE or WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Guliolopez (talk) 16:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support There needs to be a disambiguation between this museum and the ones around the globe. Bingobro (Chat) 09:38, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
