Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because...this should be discussed as formal move proposal. --olderwiser 01:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

OK. I suggest we discuss it on Talk:Otto von Bismarck, since I believe that would be the most highly watched of the talk pages of the three articles (hardly anyone looks at the talk pages of dabs). Do you agree? BMK (talk) 01:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
No, the move only directly affects the disambiguation page. A notice can be placed on the article talk page. olderwiser 01:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
So, you would prefer the discussion to take place on Talk:Bismarck or on Talk:Bismarck (disambiguation)? BMK (talk) 02:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Incidentally, you wrote above "contested deletion", but, while it's true that you're contesting the speedy deletion I tagged the page with for mechanical reasons, no page will actually be deleted by the end of the process. Right now there are three pages involved Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck and Bismarck (disambiguation). If what I am asking for receives a consensus and is carried out, there will still be three pages, Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck, and ]. The difference will be that Bismarck (disambiguation) will be a true disambiguation page and Bismarck will be a redirect to Otto von Bismarck. BMK (talk) 02:37, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
I am contesting the technical request to move the disambiguation page. Perhaps there is some merit to the proposal, but I don't agree that it should be done without a formal move discussion. You are essentially making the claim that Otto von Bismarck is the primary topic for Bismarck, and I'd like to see some evidence and consensus to support this. olderwiser 03:16, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm not beefing with you, really, I just would like to know where you would prefer the discussion to take place, Talk:Bismarck or Talk:Bismarck (disambiguation). As soon as you tell me I'll start a RM. BMK (talk) 03:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Wherever the disambiguation page is currently located, which I think is Talk:Bismarck. olderwiser 04:46, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
OK, great. I'll start the RM discussion this evening my time. BMK (talk) 15:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
