Requested move at Talk:Irish hunger strike
[edit]Hi,
Regarding your closure of the requested move here, could you provide a summary of your thinking? Would you consider relisting the move request to allow other editors more time to comment? Thanks, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 09:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I have updated the closing comment. There was no support for the move, it would be quite hard for the outcome to change even if the discussion is relisted. Vpab15 (talk) 10:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, although I would have thought the very strong imbalance in page views would carry more weight. I guess I'll let it go. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 10:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've decided to request a move review. Please see Wikipedia:Move_review/Log/2024_July. Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 16:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
