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. No further edits should be made to this section.
Support for procedural reasons (to undo an undiscussed move) and on the merits. With only two Honeymoon Bridges on the DAB page, that page can be deleted per
WP:TWODABS and a
hatnote can direct readers to the other article. —

Maybe it should be a redirect, I don't know. But that doesn't change the fact that Honeymoon Bridge in Google Books
Honeymoon Bridge (game) refers to the bridge variation. Even if it didn't there are several bridges. How are we going to accomodate multiple topics? We can't pretend they don't exist.

For that a hatnote could direct readers to
Honeymoon Bridge (disambiguation). I don't believe that a variant of a well known game (which will show up in many card rule books on google books) is more known that an international crossing that has existed for well over a century. - Floydianτ¢20:57, 14 December 2014 (UTC)reply
1898-1938 is 40 years not "well over a century". I really do not think an 1898-1938 bridge is more notable than all other uses combined, and Google Books has plenty of references to the Jackson bridge and other bridges as well as the game variant. The breakdown in Google Books appears to be about 700 for the game, 600 for the 1898-1938 bridge, 170 for the Jackson bridge, 200 for sundry other subjects. ping

Wow. I guess I should read things more closely. I didn't actually realize we were talking about a bridge that hasn't existed for more than 75 years, and seems to have been only one of at least 6 bridges in its approximate location, and seems to have had at least two other names. In fact this bridge seems barely notable, much less a primary topic for its name. The primary name for this bridge, as stated in its article, is
Upper Steel Arch Bridge. How about moving it to that name? —

I didn't realize this either, thought the current bridge also had that name. Moving it to Upper Steel Arch Bridge may be the better solution... However, I still don't believe that Google Books gives any credence to the game or the other bridge. - Floydianτ¢19:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)reply
Support per AjaxSmack's comment above. Plus, the title "Honeymoon Bridge (Ontario)" is misleading, since the bridge was in Ontario and New York.

Oppose since there doesn't seem to be an indication that the international physical bridge is primary when considering the game as well as they other physical bridge. —

Oppose There is more than one Honeymoon bridge the OP has not proven that one is notable over the other other than an opinion. I can say mine that this bridge is older and that it is one of the few examples surviving of it's type. I would also support Ajax's solution if there was not another dab in play here.
WP:TWODABS as it implies only covers two dabs, not three. -

Comment This bridge article needs help, it currently relies on just one reference (Other is a broken link). To it's credit this bridge did collapse making it notable so there should be sources documenting this. it would also be worth trying to find a source for it being a former World's longest arch bridge. -
