Requested move 6 November 2023
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.
Watergate (disambiguation) → Watergate – I don't think there is a primary topic for just "Watergate", while the scandal is significant I don't think I've ever heard it called just "Watergate" and
Watergate (architecture) and the complex its self have long-term significance and while there are the likes of
Watergate (board game) named after the scandal I don't think the scandal has a particularly strong claim for just "Watergate" similar to
The Lincolnshire Poacher for
Lincolnshire. The scandal should be kept at the top of the DAB though but otherwise I think this would be better served with no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (

Oppose. Are you kidding? Almost always referred to just as Watergate and very clear primary topic (and I'm in the UK, incidentally, so no parochialism here). --

Oppose. The
Watergate scandal is the
WP:PTOPIC for the term "Watergate". Even though it is also the name of a hotel and a building complex, the use of "Watergate" as a shorthand for the scandal far exceeds all other uses of the term. Even
the FBI refers to the scandal merely as "Watergate"—the scandal is so well-known and has such a historical impact that it dominates use of the term through the present. —
