Delete as redundant and re-direct to Grandmaster -67.101.9.98 04:48, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Do we really need a vote on this? Why not just convert to a redirect page? Anyway, if we need to vote, my vote is redirect (and, if necessary, merge).—msh210 05:17, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Grandmaster. jni 06:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep this and Grandmaster, and make sure there are links between them. The different spellings do separate the two terms, so a merge is not really in order. Sjakkalle 06:56, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Keep, valid disambiguation page. Putting all alternative meanings in a header would litter Grandmaster. Mgm|(talk) 09:00, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Grandmaster since people are very likely to confuse the two spellings. If that must then become a disambig, fine with me. Radiant_* 10:10, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Question: Could someone explain me what is the difference between the terms? "Grand Master" with capital M is always a title, "grandmaster" or "grand master" can be used either as a title (when capitalized) or as a noun for person who has high level of ability in something, is this correct? All dictionaries I checked group all meanings into one entry. jni 10:12, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It is a disambiguation page here, and different organizations use different spellings for this term. In chess "Grandmaster" is the normal term, but "Grand Master" is used at other places. I noticed that "Grandmaster" for chess is listed in this article, it is misplaced, it should be in the Grandmaster article. I think I'll move it away. Sjakkalle 13:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There are some misplaced "Grand Master"s in the Grandmaster page as well. It is confusing. Sjakkalle 13:31, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- What the heck, trying to fix this confused me now. I change my vote, just merge them together. Sjakkalle 13:36, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It's really not that confusing, as the top of the grandmaster disambiguation clearly says that "grandmaster and/or Grand Master could mean..." and the different spellings are clarly listed in each instance. Indeed, the difference in spelling is very minor (just a space) - and indeed, the contenets of grandmaster already contain everything that Grand Master has, and then some - it seems like a perfect merge to me. -66.108.104.78 18:25, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. This seems to be a valid disambiguation page. No need to go anywhere, as Grand master and Grandmaster don't have the same definition in all cases. --Randy 11:32, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Since Grand Master and Grandmaster were already largely redundant (and potentially confusing - the meaning may be clear to some, but not all as evidenced by this VfD), I've been bold and merged them together. Can we just close this VfD and redirect Grand Master to Grandmaster? Radiant_* 13:55, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect. Seems obvious, really. -66.108.104.78 18:25, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment What's all the talk about "delete?" Just make it a redirect. Anyone could have done this without bringing it to VfD, by the way.
- Redirect to Grandmaster. Radiant_* has already done the merge. I'm going to Be bold and do it now. If anyone has a big problem with this, well, you can revert it. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:35, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
