Requested move[edit]

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.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 18:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Irene Morales (soldier) → Irene Morales – This person is probably the primary topic (one of Chile's most famous enlisted soldiers, rather than a beauty pageant contestant who didn't make it part the first round of Miss Universe '63), and there are only two articles, so a disambiguation page isn't needed. This article previously was at "Irene Morales Infante", but she isn't too widely known by her second, maternal name, which is why I moved it, and I don't think we should use it. —innotata 20:41, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Young Demise[edit]

Is anything known about why Morales died so young? WillE (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, the sources suggest she had been ill with an unspecified disease for some years before. —innotata 21:04, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
