Move discussions - the best of

Collecting all the memorable quotes from the past 6 RMs (by Juxlos):

Oh that's brilliant. We should make it sticky...never to be archived. For the benefit of geographically and historically illiterate Java programmers to read.
That last bullet is my quote - I think I went on to point out that if Java was a country, it would be 8th largest in the world by population and California would be 38th largest.—-Merbabu (talk) 01:14, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You made a valid point in that allegory, which made me want to comment on it, but alas, the discussion was over and couldn't be edited again. So this is my way on commenting on your remarks. :) Bennylin (talk) 11:20, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I accept that the pages were not moved and understand why, but starting the RMs seemed reasonable. The island is primary with respect to long-term significance, but it is less clear that it is primary with respect to usage, especially amongst an English-speaking readership. In such cases, WP:PTOPIC advises us to seek consensus, which we did. Certes (talk) 11:37, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This one is charming, too: Java is Java, what else would it be. Are we going to rename apple as apple (fruit)?[1]Austronesier (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm completely whitebelt in regards on how talk page procedurals work, but i do know that Georgia has a "Georgia move in a nutshell" box, which shows the current concensus for why things are currently as it is. Perhaps we can put these quotes like that as well? Terrabalt (talk) 13:42, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
