Undoing recent changes[edit]

I do not believe that the primary usage of Adel is as a term for German nobility, so I have changed the redirect from this page to point to the disambiguation page, which is now at Adel (disambiguation). I have made a formal WP:RM to move that page back to this title. Discussion is at Talk:Adel_(disambiguation)#Requested_move. PamD (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I listed this at WP:RM as a "potentially controversial" request, an admin has already made the requested move. Please do not change the name of this page again without further discussion. Thanks. PamD (talk) 07:17, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page move Feb 2011[edit]

The recent cut and paste page moves imply that the name is the primary usage of "Adel", and were made with no discussion. I do not think this was appropriate. PamD (talk) 08:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I got here due to noting this change made to List of accidents and disasters by death toll. I discussed it with JohnCengiz77 on his talk page, without realising that he had just made a wholesale change to both Adel and Adel (disambiguation) which caused my confusion in the first place.

I can understand his desire to make a page for the Arabic male name, but I cannot see why that should be the main usage for the page, especially given the previous discussion above and at Talk:Adel (disambiguation) from August 2008, and agree with both PamD and Keith D that there is no prime candidate, and that Adel should remain a disambiguation page.

I haven't checked the old discussion at WP:RM, but I guess that JohnCengiz77 didn't either. Pending further discussion, I suggest that the changes to these two pages be reverted, along with any related changes made unilaterally in connection to these. If JohnCengiz77 wants a page for the Arabic name, it can quite easily be made at Adel (Arabic name), and linked from here like all the rest. Tim PF (talk) 10:51, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the name would be the primary usage, being that the towns called Adel are very small, and Adel is the German word for Nobility, so it's not really a candidate. John Cengiz talk 23:24, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
