Requested move 16 September 2019

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved with respect to the main proposal (The Quiet War (novel) --> The Quiet War); no change with respect to the status of the disambiguation page Quiet War. bd2412 T 04:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

The Quiet War (novel) → The Quiet War – The only other entry on The Quiet War DAB (and Quiet War) is the Laotian Civil War, however the term "Quiet War" is not mentioned there. It appears someone may have conflated this term with "Secret War". I propose there is no ambiguity for "(The) Quiet War" within Wikipedia: it only refers to the McAuley novel. I propose the following moves:

• The Quiet War (novel) --> The Quiet War
• Quiet War --> redirect to The Quiet War
• The Quiet War (disambiguation) --> delete
• Quiet War (disambiguation) --> delete

• Relisting comment. Because this was a just-recently-discovered malformed request, I am relisting to start a fresh 7-day countdown. wbm1058 (talk) 02:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
• Support move for the novel per usage but keep & merge the two dab pages; as a term for the Laotion civil war it is used in other articles such as Sainyabuli Province and gets hits on Google Books, plus there are other uses such as a song by The Used and another song by Michael Barber.

• Support moving The Quiet War (novel) --> The Quiet War as WP:PTOPIC

Keep the DAB page Quiet War and the redirect Quiet War (disambiguation) (required by WP:INTDAB)

Add the two songs found by PC78 to the DAB page

Redirect The Quiet War (disambiguation) to Quiet War per WP:CHEAP

Hatnote the article about the novel to the DAB page. Narky Blert (talk) 16:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
