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: No consensus to move at this time. If another article on a Barrack Street with comparable importance is written, then this issue can be revisited — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:59, 23 May 2019 (UTC)



Barrack StreetBarrack Street, Perth – There is also a Barrack Street, Hobart, so not the primary topic. Sephonn (talk) 02:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

  • Comment Maybe Barrack Street (disambiguation) should move to the base-title, with this moved too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:15, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose There is zero evidence provided that we don't have a WP:primary topic and when I check page views, I get the distinct impression that the Perth locality is the primary topic. From the way the proposal is worded, I wonder whether Sephonn has ever looked up how primary topic is defined. Schwede66 19:32, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Well I don't see anyone ever really look at Primary Topic's second criteria, which this article fails. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:35, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Support particularly the Barrack Street area of Cork is also notable in books. Then there's Dundee and multiple Barrack Streets in dozens of other towns and cities; so move Barrack Street (disambiguation) to the baseline. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:28, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Support per nom - no clear primary topic. When in doubt, move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 13:18, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Support. There are plenty of Barrack Streets in the world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Of the two articles that have articles, the Perth street gets 88% of the page views. This is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in what's essentially a WP:TWODABS situation.--Cúchullain t/c 13:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
