Max George (footballer) → Max George –

Superfluous dab page, the footballer is the only person named Max George with a Wikipedia article. The singer listed on the dab page can easily be covered with a hatnote to the band article. Jenks24 (talk) 07:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But how much more notable is the footballer (described as "former" and apparently retired in 1981) than the singer? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Notable enough that the footballer has an article while the singer does not. Jenks24 (talk) 08:36, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Move: Max George (footballer) is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as he has an article while the singer does not. There doesn't really even need to be a discussion. Ignorant Armies^?! 13:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably should have read this first...

But the view stats make it clear that the pop culture recentism world doesn't think that an old Full Forward is one of the Aussie Rules project's most viewed pages. The-Pope (talk) 05:06, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2

The result of the proposal was not moved. --BDD (talk) 20:13, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– Similar scenario to Nathan Sykes. Unreal7 (talk) 15:39, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There has been no evidence presented yet that proves which subject on Max George is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Steel1943 (talk) 18:58, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Nothing has changed, the footballer is still known as the footballer, and the singer is still known as the singer, and disambiguation is still needed. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:29, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The previous May RM to move a rugby league stub over the lead singer of The Wanted turns out (grok.se stats) to have been a complete disaster for readers - particularly on days when the singer hit tabloid headlines. If it is going to be cited as precedent it should be undone, so I have put in a RM2 at Talk:Nathan Sykes to undo it. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:16, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Per WP:DAB. The Nathan Sykes situation is wrong and should be fixed. It doesn't matter whether a topic is a stand-alone article or not. The guideline says that "A 'topic covered by Wikipedia' is either the main subject of an article, or a minor subject covered by an article in addition to the article's main subject." Both topics are covered by Wikipedia, and there is no evidence that the footballer is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:46, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Footnote: This is a malformed multimove request, as it is also suggesting to move the dab page. It should have been formatted differently, so that watchers of the dab page would get notified. To address this problem, I have just put a manual notification at Talk:Max George. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:46, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(I have fixed this request by making it a multi-move request and adding the intended additional move.) Soon after, a bot should post an automatic move request notification on Talk:Max George. In addition, the move request should show up properly on WP:RM after a bot updates the listings. Steel1943 (talk) 04:57, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(Additional sidenote: Max George is a disambiguation page with only two entries, so it will most likely get deleted if this move request occurs, but this cleans up the appearance of the move discussion and allows bots to do the work they need to do.)
