Requested move[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Vamps (band). Favonian (talk) 15:57, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vamps → Vamps (band) – Vamps is plural of vamp, vamp has many meanings. E-Kartoffel (talk) 09:41, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. At least fifteen entries at the DAB page Vamp show how enormously confusable the present title is. The DAB page got 14046 (without even considering the pageviews for the articles listed there); this present page got 11563, but many of those were probably after something else, given that "vamps" is so generic, imprecise, and uninformative. How many readers would be worse off under the proposed arrangement? Zero, I'd say. I'd like to see a compelling argument that a significant number were. Noetica^Tea? 12:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. per nom and Noetica. JDDJS (talk) 18:10, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support clearly this is a plural, and the recent film has recent exposure on its side. And it is an English language film, unlike this band, which is Japanese, so has considerably lower exposure in English. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 05:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, and redirect vamps to the dab page. Too ambiguous to be useful like this. Jafeluv (talk) 01:56, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, at this time, noting that if page views accrued at Vamps (band) in the future demonstrate deserved topical primacy a move back could be warranted. ENeville (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
