[edit] Requested move

Oral poetry → Oral tradition — near synonym; target page is a much better developed article -- nothing in source that isn't treated in greater detail in target —DavidOaks (talk) 03:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Oppose. This request and the related one to move Oral-Formulaic Composition to the same page (!!) appear to muddle merging and moving. There have been several merge proposals on the talk pages, none of them gaining sufficient support to proceed. Sort out a proposal there... And I doubt it will be a move you want.

• Oppose per Andrewa. Merging articles is a very different action from simply moving (renaming). older ≠ wiser 12:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

• Seeing as Oral tradition already exists, isn't this a merge proposal rather than a move? Paulbrock (talk) 11:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
