Line 220:
*'''Oppose''' per all sorts, including Silk Tork, Crisco, and, most especially, Rschen; the last-named's point that it's not broken (despite assertions to the contrary, which amount only to [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT|personal preference]]) seems quite strong to me.

*'''Oppose''' per basically everyone above. I note that the most supported rename is [[Home page]], but that's simply moving it to a synonym (I don't buy the "more warm and friendly" argument either, do people actually notice the title here?) and creates further problems with moving actual articles and redirects and such around. The only move I could somewhat support would be to project or portal namespace, but I understand that would be confusing to users that don't know much of the technical matters of how the site works.

::I don't think anybody is suggesting moving it to replace the "Home page" in article space, that would be even more bizarre than keeping it in its current article space position. [[User:TheGrappler|TheGrappler]] ([[User talk:TheGrappler|talk]]) 03:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
*'''Support''' - it would be far more consistent with how we do everything else - this isn't an article, it doesn't belong in article space, and this is a distinction that readers should probably be led to understand (so they know that e.g. if they see something in "Wikipedia" or "User" space, that it may not follow the same guidelines as article space content). Moreover there is a vulnerability in our inconsistency that might just be storing up trouble for later. If I was an evil publisher, for instance, and I wanted to publish a notable book that would have outrageous SEO, I might be tempted to retitle it "Main page". Then what would be done? Have a disambig notice at the top of the page? [[User:TheGrappler|TheGrappler]] ([[User talk:TheGrappler|talk]]) 03:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
