Chest (disambiguation)Chest – Tough call here, but here goes: I think that the term "Chest" as a word has as notable of a connection historically to its current target Thorax as it does with Chest (furniture). In the previous 30 days, the redirect Chest has received about 100 views at its peak, and Chest (furniture) has received about 40 at its peak. Both concepts have a decent history of a strong association with this word, so there is bound to be a bit of an WP:ASTONISH-ment factor going to either formerly-mentioned article directly by looking up this term (Thorax or Chest (furniture)). So, it may be best to move the disambiguation page to the base name so that readers can decide which topic they are trying to locate. Steel1943 (talk) 00:07, 1 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

  • Support per nom, thorax and furniture (hope chest, chest of drawers, etc). -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOTE the edit history at chest should be moved to chest (thorax) -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Noting that it will only need to be moved if there consensus here is to move the dab to the base location. If it is moved WP:CWW will need to followed to fix the attribution at thorax where content from chest has been merged. Jenks24 (talk) 13:15, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • We could just move the edit history anyways, since it will specifically indicate what the edit history is about. There would still be a redirect at "chest" to "thorax" if this doesn't go through. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose; a human body part will almost certainly have greater long term historical significance than a piece of furniture. bd2412 T 14:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per BD2412 - I honestly can't put that any better myself! - Chest (body) would be far more known than furniture and if anyone did want furniture then it wouldn't be too hard to find it all in the search bar anyway. –Davey2010Talk 03:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
