Squash

Should I move back SquashSquash (disambiguation) and Squash (sport)Squash. A user recently moved it without proper discussion and without concrete reasoning. I agree with Grutness on his/her edit on January 5, 2009 – "moved Talk:Squash to Talk:Squash (disambiguation): preparing to move the sport here - 49 of the top 50 google hits, and most of the incoming links are to the sport" Arteyu ?

Squash (sport) has its own WikiProject, thus making the move made by Tatterfly as unrealistic Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 10:10, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed this move; it really ought to have gone through some sort of procedure, rather than being done unilaterally. Squash is a widely used word with a lot of different, unrelated meanings, however, so I can see the advantage of having the main 'squash' article as a disambiguation. In this case the user has been bold and I'd probably just about agree with the move. --Pretty Green (talk) 12:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Best I canremember, MOS suggests that the most common usage be the main refferal. Personally, I would put the main one to link to the vegetable with a "otheruses" tag directed first to the sport and then to the ambiguation page. That's my 3O on the matter based on how I remember the MOS gidelines. JaakobouChalk Talk 17:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
