Requested move 7 April 2021
edit- The following is a closed 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Some editors argue that the current title is preferable as voting also took place in 2021 (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 00:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- 2020–21 United States Senate election in Georgia → 2020 United States Senate election in Georgia
- 2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia → 2020 United States Senate special election in Georgia
– The title "2020–21" gives the impression to the reader that the election was continuous and took place over multiple years, this is not a pre-20th amendment election, they were both held on specific dates. The runoffs were a continuation of the November general that happened to take place in January, it is already specified in the infobox the date of the runoffs. Alternatively, them being renamed to "2020 and 2021..." also makes it clear that it wasn't a continuous, multi-year election. AveryTheComrade (talk) 21:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The election did take place over two years, hence why the articles were moved to the current titles as a result of Talk:2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia#Requested move 5 November 2020. This is the standard title format for elections that spanned a year end (e.g. 1992–93 Montenegrin general election, 1997–98 Lithuanian presidential election, 1999–2000 Guinea-Bissau general election, 2000–01 Ivorian parliamentary election, 2009–10 Croatian presidential election, 2014–15 Croatian presidential election, 2019–20 Croatian presidential election,2015–16 Central African general election etc). Number 57 09:10, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose moves per Number 57. This is the standard form and was determined by a previous RM. O.N.R. (talk) 18:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per all argument above. I also suggests that instead of "2020–21", it should be moved to "2020–2021" per MOS:YEARRANGE. 36.77.94.210 (talk) 00:08, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Support while this isn't going to happen, the common-sense title would be consistent with that of other states, as well as the national article. The election was a 2020 election, it was considered part of the 2020 election, that just happened to continue into 2021. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:03, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Page move
editDue to the special election having taken place in parallel, the article "2020-21 United States Senate election in Georgia" should be renamed to "2020-21 United States Senate general election in Georgia". Bernardgeorgeh (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Bernardgeorgeh,
- This is not a discussion, this is just your opinion. So, moving an article based on a talk page discussion is misleading. Please don't claim this unless a full discussion over days or weeks has happened. Liz Read! Talk! 00:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Liz,
- My mistake. I see my reasoning for the article move was misguided and that being that there had been no sufficient discussion that "talk page discussion" was not the appropriate reason reguardless. Thank you for correcting my shortsighted mistake. Bernardgeorgeh (talk) 14:52, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Disagree with this move. It's not the general practice for such situations (e.g. we have 2022 United States Senate election in Oklahoma even though there was also a simultaneous special). Having a hatnote to disambiguate is sufficient. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Elli,
- I understand my mistake. I think I was overly concerned with disambiguation that I did not consider nomenclature enough. Thank you for your correction. Bernardgeorgeh (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- No worries. I appreciate your enthusiasm! Elli (talk | contribs) 15:37, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
