[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. 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.
The result of the proposal was move to Springbok (antelope) and leave the disambiguation page at Springbok, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 08:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Springbok Antelope → Springbok — The springbok is almost never known as the "springbok antelope": it is simply the springbok. The animal is the primary meaning, the other usages listed at springbok being named after it. So, I think this article should be at springbok, and the page currently there moved to springbok (disambiguation). —Alivemajor 01:38, 16 September 2007 (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.
- Neither - I suggest Springbok (antelope) as a better choice, as there are valid alternative uses for Springbok that are used frequently, but also agree that Springbok Antelope is clunky and not correct. Greenman 08:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Neither - I agree with Greenman. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 23:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support but with springboks continuing to redirect to South Africa national rugby union team. — AjaxSmack 07:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
