Makes no sense

I think this should be moved back to "Job control", and the disambiguation page named "Job control (disambiguation)". Calling this "Job control block" makes no sense. Thoughts? Peter Flass (talk) 01:10, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 1 April 2015

Job control block → Job control – "Job control block" is meaningless in this context. This article is about the general concept of job control in computing. Peter Flass (talk) 22:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Better move it to "Job control (computing)" then, as Job control (workplace) is similarly relevant in an entirely different area. --Chris Howard (talk) 00:07, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps. Peter Flass (talk) 02:18, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose clearly not what most people who do not program computers would think. The disambiguation page should be moved to the base location, since we have Job control (workplace) -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 09:24, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE the nominator moved the disambiguation page off to Job control (disambiguation) just prior to making this nomination, so this is in effect a malformed multimove request. If this request fails, the disambiguation page should return to the base location. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 09:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
