*'''Support'''. This probably makes sense. According to my Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the word ''epic'' means "1 : a long narrative poem in elevated style recounting the deeds of a legendary or historical hero <the Iliad and the Odyssey are epics>". Anything that describes an "epic" should refer to this meaning (such as "epic film"). Furthermore, [[Epic]] should be the main article and should have a hatnote directing users to the disambiguation page. (I raise this issue because a user removed the [[epic]] link from [[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]; in fact, that article should link to [[Epic poetry]], as should other articles about "epic" works.)<br><font color=blue><small>-,-~</small></font>[[User:RlyehRising|<small><sup>R<big>'lyeh<big>R</big>isin</big>g</sup></small>]]<font color=blue><small>~-,- 03:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)</small></font> |

Revision as of 03:06, 2 January 2006
This template must be substituted. Replace {{Requested move ...}} with {{subst:Requested move ...}}.
Other uses
Some links to here are "Biblical Epic," "epic film," "epic novel" or "epic" as simply meaning a large-scale story. As I have been setting up links to (skip this page), I have chosen to simply unlink these uses. Its not clear to me if these should have their on article or not. And I wouldn't be able to do much more than a dictionary type entry for them. So if someone thinks these articles should exist, go ahead! John 17:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Move
When I finish going through the links to this page, I propose to make Epic poetry the primary target of "Epic" (it is, but the redirect comes here), change the name of this article to "Epic (disambiguation)" and have Epic redirect to Epic Poetry. John 23:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Epic → Epic (disambiguation)
It IS a disambiguation page and people are linking to it directly too easily. When the move is done, I will make Epic be a redirect to Epic poetry, which appears to be the most used reference. I would do it myself, but Epic (disambigutation) already exists.

Discussion
- Add any additional comments
I don't expect this to be controversial. I am following the process here because the target page already exists.c John (Jwy) 02:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
