Talk:Concerned

Requested move 9 May 2022

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: No consensus for now. @BD2412: has suggested that an article on "concern" could be written, and he is the absolute king of creating articles on such topics, so it's highly likely that consensus will change once there is an actual primary topic to compare it to.

Concerned → Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman – "Concerned" is an ambiguous title - the primary topic is Concern. Per WP:NATDAB, using "an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called" (a natural disambiguation) is preferred over a more correct but ambiguous title. casualdejekyll 19:02, 9 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

OK, I admit that a disambiguation page cannot be a primary topic, but, well, yeah. There's probably a better phrasing for what I mean. casualdejekyll 19:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Alternatively, I would also support a move to Concerned (webcomic) casualdejekyll 19:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Concern just goes to a disambiguation page. There is no other article on Wikipedia called "Concerned". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support, per nom. Esolo5002 (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support per my arguments at the afd. An emotion is a much more likely search expectation for readers than a barely notable webcomic. Not to mention it is easily the more encyclopaedic topic. I would redirect Concerned to concern which would further redirect to Worry as synonyms and leave a hatnote there pointing to the DAB page. Aircorn (talk) 23:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

  If Concern is not a primary redirect to Worry, then Concerned is a valid place for an article. In other words, the move discussion of Concern to Concern (disambiguation) needs to be held before, or at the same time as this one for that to at all be valid. However, I believe that a discussion like that will fail, primarily due to Concern (business). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:53, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose – I have to agree with zxcvbnm, there simply isn't another encyclopedic topic this title should link to. The only item listed in concern that a user might want to find instead is worry. The other items on that disambiguation page are all purely nouns. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:19, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom. The long title is actually the more recognizable title. 182.1.86.152 (talk) 00:44, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. An adjective to a dab page to a not-quite-synonym is always a stretch, especially when we have an actual encyclopedic topic for that term. Additionally, it does not look like there are any misplaced wikilinks, so editors and readers are not confused by the current setup. Dohn joe (talk) 14:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support move to Concerned (webcomic). Wikipedia is missing an article on the topic of "concern" as an emotional state, which may be something distinct from "worry". BD2412 T 02:51, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

  I would support moving it too if there was such an article and it was notable, but this is putting the cart before the horse. If and when the Concern (emotion) article is created and approved, we can have a new move discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

• Weak support per WP:SUBTITLE though I agree creating an article on the general concept first may be desirable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 06:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
• Weak oppose, the "official" name of the webcomic is Concerned per seen here in the web page title, though it would be neat if a new article on "Concerned" mood was created and this was renamed to "Concerned (webcomic)". Merko (talk) 01:19, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
