Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus that the rank remains the primary topic. (non-admin closure)  BilledMammal (talk) 13:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Air marshal →  – This does not seem to be a proper PRIMARYTOPIC. "Air marshal" is also an alternative name for a Sky marshal, such as a member of the Federal Air Marshal Service. Both of those other articles get more page views than this one. Federal Air Marshal Service gets more than twice as many page views. It could also be confused with Marshal of the Air Force. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:57, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be true that the term "air marshal" is used for sky marshals only or primarily in the United States. However, the United States is a pretty large part of the English-speaking world, and its usage should not be discounted. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:47, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: However, if we always went with American usage as primary this would be going against WP:ENGVAR. That's not how we do things in Wikipedia. Numerous countries use the rank of air marshal (including not-insignificant countries such as the UK, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, much of Africa, Australia, New Zealand and formerly Canada). Only the United States commonly uses it for the other definition, and even there another term is probably more common. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Creating Air marshal (disambiguation) does not seem particularly difficult. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:47, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. I was more seeking input as to whether it is a good idea. Andrewa (talk) 20:13, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If this article is not moved, creating that might be unnecessary. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:42, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
