Requested move 21 April 2021 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Wildland fire module. This is a term of art in firefighting, and the official naming and use seems to have shifted, so there is no reason to deny the request. I chose lowercase title per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS, as this is not a proper noun and Wikipedia does not capitalize terms of art. No such user (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Weak oppose there's no evidence that this name has become the common name in independent sources. (t · c) buidhe 18:30, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
MateoTimateo, I have updated the request above to be "Wildland Fire Module". It was "Wildand Fire Module" which I think is a typo. Vpab15 (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

There simply aren’t many textual sources regarding Wildland Fire Modules. I am a member of a WFM myself, and it’s not uncommon for personnel on other wildland fire crew types to be in the dark about our crew configuration, capabilities, and nomenclature. https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-anchor-point-podcast/episode/wtf-is-a-wfm-w-jon-freeman-64575944 MateoTimateo (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
