728:– Primary reason for requesting this move is that I mistakenly capitalised "polytope" when attempting to make the move agreed above. The controversial bit is that another user (see also above) disputes the title for reasons which I have argued to be spurious. I asked both here and on their user page for clarification but the user has not responded, despite making edits elsewhere over the last couple of days. Hoping I have waited long enough for the requested move to go ahead - apologies if I still haven't got the etiquette right yet, I am trying (honest). — Cheers,

finally back to "Density (polytope)". I did that last move a few minutes ago. That required me to delete the redirect page that had been created by the earlier move from "Density (polytope)" to "Polytope density". I then restored the edit history, so the history of the deleted redirect page should appear.

Certainly copy-and-pasted moves should not be done, since they destroy the article's edit history. According to the current history, this article was called "Density (polytope)", then it was moved to "Polytope density", then to "Density (Polytope)" (with an incorrectly capitalized initial "P"), then

Regarding content, this does seem a distinct concept of independent interest, though not esp. long. A table of the density of the regular 3D and 4D star polytopes (and uniform polyhedra) may be interesting (tables already exist at the articles, but a stripped down one here might be
