Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus^(talk) 02:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GNU Texinfo → Texinfo — "Texinfo" refers to the typesetting syntax, which this article is mainly about. "GNU Texinfo" refers to the programs provided by the GNU project that implement the syntax. Since the latter is less important and not discussed as much, this article should be named "Texinfo". ——msikma (user, talk) 11:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Support. As per nom. Also since Texinfo redirects to GNU Texinfo there shouldn't be a problem with this move. --203.220.171.83 (talk) 10:18, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It is confusing to have syntax written mostly in 'C'. Gam3 (talk) 15:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
