Requested move 23 May 2022

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: Moved without redirect, and convert the disambiguation page into a redirect. It was found that "cow parsnip" has no primary topic in terms of a specific Heracleum species. However, as "cow parsnip" refers to nothing else except Heracleum species, the DAB page is not needed, as the plant genus's page was noted to also do the job fine. As such, the DAB page will be converted into a redirect. (non-admin closure) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 15:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cow parsnip (disambiguation) → Cow parsnip – No obvious primary topic according to page traffic. Top Google Books results seem to focus on the North American species (Heracleum maximum), but I would rather disambiguate than potentially mis-identify a primary topic. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 06:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Heracleum sphondylium has 3,242 views but Heracleum maximum has 2,993 and Heracleum (plant) has more (3,303)[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:49, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, but retarget Cow parsnip to Heracleum (plant) as the broadest meaning (and delete the dab page). The phrase "cow parsnip" has no other meanings than the closely related plants, so the dab page is misguided; it should be a {{Plant common name}} instead, however, since all plants are similar and closely related, the genus article is the best navigation choice.

I'd be happy with this as well. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 16:48, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
