Requested move 20 March 2014[edit]

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Unanimous consensus is that the people, not the band, are the primary topic. Xoloz (talk) 17:55, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Odawas → Odawas (band) – I contend that the more encyclopedic topic with greater long term significance is the Native American people, and that "Odawas" should redirect to Odawa people, so the band should be displaced 70.50.151.11 (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I am the nominator. --- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 07:57, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - very clearly the Odawas are the primary topic. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:56, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, though perhaps with a better dab - at first I thought this was a band within the Odawa people. — kwami (talk) 12:28, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is a reasonable point, Odawas (rock group) would be better in this case. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:30, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry about that. Odawas (rock band) is acceptable to me. I am the nominator. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:41, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
