Requested move 16 October 2017
[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: Moving all, including those mentioned by power~enwiki below. But revert Alan Simpson to Alan K. Simpson - there's no consensus one way or the other on that one, so reverting the undiscussed move, and people can feel free to repropose the move to "American politican" if they want to. — Amakuru (talk) 21:48, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- Jim McGovern (U.S. politician) → Jim McGovern (American politician)
- Alan Simpson (U.S. politician) → Alan Simpson (American politician)
- Roger Williams (U.S. politician) → Roger Williams (American politician)
– The disambiguations should preferably use national demonyms, as suggested in User:Jarry1250/Findings found at WP:NCDAB. Recently at the suggestion of multiple other users, another article about a Member of Congress was moved to Tim Murphy (American politician), when I had suggested "Tim Murphy (U.S. politician)". Arbor to SJ (talk) 20:26, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment there are a few more: Andy Barr (U.S. politician), Chris Collins (U.S. politician), David Price (U.S. politician), Jim Jordan (U.S. politician), Mike Lee (U.S. politician), and Richard Hudson (U.S. politician). Also Dan Sullivan (U.S. Senator) which is a special case as there are two politicians named Dan Sullivan from Alaska. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:31, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support. "American" is the standard disambiguator for people. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
- Move Alan Simpson (U.S. politician) back to Alan K. Simpson per WP:NATURAL and WP:NCDAB to revert recent undiscussed move. Alan K. Simpson is his very commonly used real name, which is preferred to any artificial parenthetical qualifier. Neutral on the others. Station1 (talk) 09:10, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- "Alan Simpson" is more common than "Alan K. Simpson", based on google searches (with the accompanying words, Wyoming senator). Arbor to SJ (talk) 17:07, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- "Alan K. Simpson" is very commonly used, including in highly reliable sources. Whether or not it's the most commonly used name is irrelevant, because disambiguating with an alternative natural name is almost always preferred to us making up an artificial article title, per policy and guidelines mentioned. Station1 (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- "Alan Simpson" is more common than "Alan K. Simpson", based on google searches (with the accompanying words, Wyoming senator). Arbor to SJ (talk) 17:07, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Please notify me for a redo RM
[edit]I realize I'm too late but I don't agree with the justification for the move above and all similar ones. Very few participated in the above RM and I question the finding that the opinions expressed reflect community consensus on this question. Please notify me if there is another RM to correct this or any similar title changes. --В²C ☎ 22:37, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
