Requested moves

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived 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: not moved. Number 57 13:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


– As per definition of: “wrestle” in Cambridge dictionaries, “wrestle” in Merriam-Webster dictionaries “wrestle” in Oxford dictionaries, (where we find wrestling as being defined as a fight and not as mock or theatrical combat);  as per the name of the activity “Professional wrestling”;  as per the categories of article - Professional wrestling, (Category:Professional wrestling, Category:Performing arts, Category:Mock combat, Category:Sports entertainment, Category:Professional wrestling slang, Category:Theatrical combat) and as per consistency with other articles such as: The Ascension (professional wrestling), The Nexus (professional wrestling), The Shield (professional wrestling).   The list of articles proposed to be moved consists of members of World Wrestling Entertainment personnel and was assembled from the content of Template:WWE personnel. Following this move more articles could then be moved on the basis of consistency. This would be done to the extent of the content of: "Professional wrestling#External links" in which is found a collapsible directory of "Links to related articles". Thank-you, Gregkaye ✍♪ 11:02, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – I've previously mentioned this inconsistency on WT:PW, yet consensus was against doing anything about it. Furthermore, as you allude to, this proposal addresses one subset of articles while ignoring many others. There are plenty of other affected articles where the individual is not currently employed by or under contract to WWE, or the article title carries a parenthetical "wrestling" rather than "wrestler". Approaching this piecemeal is only going to make the situation worse, not better. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 21:42, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - a) finding the definition of "wrestle" is one thing. Finding the definition of "wrestler" would be more accurate. Anybody can wrestle with a problem, but that doesn't make anyone a wrestler. b) I agree that the inconsistency needs to be solved - but personally I'm leaning towards moving the Ascension, Nexus and Shield to (wrestling). It's just simpler and easier to type out (wrestler) and (wrestling). starship.paint ~ regal 02:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all, mostly per WP:CONCISE but also because just because it's staged doesn't mean they aren't wrestling. Red Slash 03:11, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Starship.paint: the definition for "wrestler" is helpful in that it is defined as "a person who wrestles as a sport". I don't think that the issues of ease of typing is relevant. "Xx (wrestler)" redirects will still be available or can be created. There is no suggestion of a move of the article Professional wrestler to Wrestler and consistency and clarity are the important issues here.
@RadioKAOS: See definition of "Wrestler" above. The topic of WT:PW is "Professional Wrestling", a WikiProject that is falls within Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture#Arts and is not found in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture/Sports. A performer may take up a regular role for instance: doctor or shop keeper or starship captain yet these people are never described in terms of the role that is played. Gregkaye ✍♪ 04:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yet, most biography articles of professional wrestlers, including this one, are tagged for WP Biography under the sports and games work group rather than the arts and entertainment work group. Of course, there are exceptions, which reveals yet another inconsistency. The former work group's page contains the section "Sport Wrestler", whose only content is a link to WP:PW as a "related project". RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all Pointless word, and a long one. Everything (or close) currently labelled with it would work just as well without. In the odd case where there's an amateur wrestler and a pro with the same name, one should get an "(amateur wrestler)", because it's the shorter choice. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:23, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You mean like Dave Schultz (wrestling) and David Schultz (professional wrestler)? Oops, still another inconsistency in naming! Actually, there may be a tendency to confuse these two, considering that their respective heydays occurred during the same year, 1984. That was when the "real wrestler" won Olympic gold and the "fake wrestler" slapped the shit out of John Stossel. The former article carries a hatnote which explicitly refers to the latter article, rather than the associated dab page. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, thanks. They were on the tip of my tongue. Kept thinking Barry, for some reason. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@InedibleHulk: amateur wrestlers actually wrestle by definition. Professional wrestlers do not. I think we should credit entertainment as entertainment and sport as sport. I have known a genuine former wrestler * and it is this that brings the subject to mind. I don't imagine that any wrestler in the amateur scene would consider professional wrestling as a genuine sport. There is a clarification in the article title Professional wrestling. In this case it is a distinction that I think can be beneficially and consitently used. Gregkaye ✍♪ 04:53, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dictionaries are well and good. No argument that it also means combat here. I appreciate it in MMA. But Google "wrestler", and you'll see it clearly applies to this form, too. Has for decades. Actors aren't genuine in their actions, but it'd be just as strange to make a point of that. Both common English. Luckily for people who infer the things you do from the word, each professional wrestling article has a Wikilink in the lead, explaining FAKE!. I could see your point if we were calling them King Kong Bundy (sportsman) and Al Costello (competitor). Both huge cheaters. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:28, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all- Disambiguations are allowed to be vague. John Smith (musician) does not describe what kind of musician he is. John Smith (sergeant) does not tell you whether he is a detective, a soldier, etc. If you want to go in-depth, read the article. Conciseness is far more important than specificity since the qualifier is there for the sole purpose of being able to place the article in the article space. It isn't meant to be an all-encompassing title. "Wrestler" is fine. Read the article and find out if they are professional or amateur ones. Feedback 04:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gregkaye, I would be very wary of wholly classifying wrestling purely as an art instead of a mixture of both sport and art. Wrestling is simulated combat. There are a lot of combat sports. Easy to see how people may view it as a sport. In my country, wrestling shows up on sports TV channels, not entertainment or film channels. Also, sports entertainment. Lastly, I really fail to understand your rebuttal to RadioKAOS. We are calling wrestlers wrestlers. We are not calling them the role they play, like Bayley (fangirl) or Kane (monster) or Dusty Rhodes (common man) or Fandango (dancer). Those are the roles. Those are the characters. Being a wrestler isn't a character. Kane's character is a monster but Glen Jacobs is a wrestler. starship.paint ~ regal 05:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Professional wrestling is simulated combat while amateur wrestling is sport. This is the distinction. The people mentioned are all professional wrestlers as classified within the closed sphere of professional wrestling. If this is a sport I would welcome its credentials within the context of open competition. Gregkaye ✍♪ 05:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This argument has been raging for years. There were those who were opposed to highlighting Maurice Vachon's death on the main page due to his stature as a "fake wrestler", despite his having competed in the 1948 Olympics and other distinguished accomplishments in amateur wrestling. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support though per the comments on overly long, it could use "(pro-wrestler)" and "(pro-wrestling)" instead. Wrestling and staged pro-wrestling are sport versus choreographed stageshow. -- 65.94.171.225 (talk) 05:59, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per my above comments. Also, just because professional wrestling is scripted, that doesn't mean that professional wrestlers don't wrestle. They do wrestle in the ring. We don't say they are an (amateur wrestler) or (folk wrestler) but they are qualified to be a (wrestler). starship.paint ~ regal 10:11, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Mmmmm, I don't know. I understand your point, Greg. Amatur wrestling is Sport and Pro wrestling is entertainment. However, the word wrestlers works for both, amateur wrestlers and professional wrestlers, because both perform wrestling. However, we don't think wrestling is real and compare entertainers with real fighters, but the term is correct. Do you want a better term, like (professional wrestler) or (pro wrestler)? No problem. However, we never have any problem with (wrestler) (I mean, a pro wrestler and amateur wrestler who share names) --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:27, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree:, My point is that genuine wrestling is a sport as fitting the Wikipedia Category:Combat sports. Combatants go at it with each other for x number of minutes, then they typically shake hands and get on with their lives. As in all competitive sports there can be drama but within the context of a genuine battle. The article on Wrestling demonstrates this well. It begins:

"Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position..." Its competitive and all articles that I have seen on competitive sports seem to start in similar ways.

Personally I would have great respect for the likes of "Bailey (wrestler)" and associates if they would share a mat with the likes of Saori Yoshida. I'd hazard a guess that you might even add a number of the wrestlers in sequence. Friends of mine who knew Noel Loban better than me said that he would line up opposition on a rotation and it was still reportedly quite common for the opposition to give in first.

The articles on these people describe them with the unqualified term "wrestler" and rightly so. These people fit, are able to fit and have been proven to fit that description.

The articles of professional wrestlers that I have seen repeatedly make use of the descriptive term "professional wrestler". These articles do not make direct use of the term "wrestler". I think this is fair. Gregkaye ✍♪ 17:32, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point. I think it's fair. They are pro wrestlers, so it's the correct word. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, Greg, your argument is already dangerously bordering on WP:STICK territory. Anyone who actively works on professional wrestling articles is likely to fully understand this already. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 18:10, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
TY HHH Pedrigree. RadioKAOS with respect I suspect that nothing has died a natural death. Clearly the extravaganza of professional wrestling is alive and well. In my pov it makes a mockery of genuine competition.
Of the three originally fabled sports of the Ancient Olympic Games (running, wrestling and jumping) wrestling is the one due to be dropped by 2020. Again in my pov, this has not happened naturally. Gregkaye ✍♪ 20:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Josh Barnett's Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) stable isn't quite notable enough for an article yet, but that's going to blur the line soon enough. Especially with Satoshi Ishii in it, the gold medalist judoka who last fought a kickboxer in an MMA fight for Japan's top pro wrestling promoter (who himself legkicked the world's most famous boxer). InedibleHulk (talk) 01:51, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even the posters look like wrasslin'. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:14, 24 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]
InedibleHulk, there are no blurred lines. Ray Park is a martial artist. However, when adopting the part of Darth Maul he knows that he will lose in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi. This happens because both characters follow an impeccably choreographed script within which Ray Park doesn't really fight. The good guys to win, everyone is happy but very few people infer reality in the situation. Its entertainment.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. It's here to present honest content. We don't indulge in fantasies. Gregkaye ✍♪
I'm talking the other way around, where a guy uses the catch style he's practiced in New Japan to legitimately hand Dean Lister his first grappling finish, and cuts over-the-top promos in either his Babyfaced Assassin or heel Warmaster gimmicks to move up the actual fighting ladder. That's way more blurry than goddamn Star Wars, and not really relevant to your problem. Just an aside about stables with pro-sounding names and crossover tendencies. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:43, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all. Completely unnecessary over-disambiguation. Disambiguation is merely intended to distinguish different subjects with the same names, which this does perfectly well. It's not intended to be some form of gospel. Would only be relevant if there was an amateur wrestler and a professional wrestler using the same name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's not only one route to consistency, McPhail. Consider moving articles like Bad Influence (professional wrestling) to Bad Influence (wrestling). There should not be other Bad Influence in other forms of wrestling. For the entire Wikipedia, I counted only six or seven articles with potential conflicts that should not be moved like Pin (professional wrestling). Those should remain. starship.paint ~ regal 23:41, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't get why Pin (professional wrestling) isn't located at Pinfall. What's up with that? Feedback
Probably because nobody has proposed such a move. I'd support that, Feedback, and signed for you. starship.paint ~ regal 03:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You need to pin a wrestler for a three-count to get a pinfall. Two-counts are pins, but not falls. The article is full of types of pins, which can lead to pinfalls, but aren't in themselves. Can't kick out of a pinfall, just after one. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:07, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct, Hulk. Thanks for pointing it out. Pinfall was a wrong choice. starship.paint ~ regal 00:17, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all, per WP:CONCISE in agreement with Slash above. What this can easily be interpreted is an attack on professional wrestling, trying to draw a distinction different from amateur wrestling. It is inappropriate to use the wikipedia voice to carry out an agenda. If we were to have a case where we had two people with an identical name, one who wrestled amateur and the other who was a professional wrestler, then the distinction might be appropriate. We don't have one here. On the opposite side of that coin, there are many people who have done both, most notably Kurt Angle, amateur wrestling world champion, Olympic gold medalist and WWE, WCW and TNA Champion. Trackinfo (talk) 23:40, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Trackinfo, there is no attack. Professional wrestling clearly has qualities that sport wrestling does not have. If this were not the case pro-wrestling would not exist. In parallel to this case there are two articles: Stage combat and Combat. Arguably neither one of them is more worthy than the other yet both titles are used in different contexts depending on the situation described. One clear indication of distinction is that none of the people mentioned uses their real names when performing. Please also see my comment on Ray Park above. Gregkaye ✍♪ 16:53, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That is clearly your agenda here. To forcibly make your WP:POINT, advertising with every disambiguation name. That is not what wikipedia does. We go to disambiguation when a name is used more than once. Professional wrestling stage names are frequently common sounding names, single names and names to capitalize on a fad. We will have a lot of disambiguation needed. So we go for the simplest way to form a distinction. (wrestler) does the job. Anything beyond that is re-raising an issue when the question never exists except in your desire to deliver a message. "Professional wrestling is fake!" or at least "Its not real wrestling." OK we get your point. But we don't need to say it every time Bayley or any other professional wrestler is mentioned by their stage name on wikipedia. Trackinfo (talk) 19:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all - Trackinfo said it as well as I could hope to. We get that there's a difference, but it's not necessary to have an unnecessary word to beat that over people's heads just so you can defend Noel Loban's honor. Let's call this a violation of WP:POINT, close it up, and move on. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Its not for the honour of the likes of Noel Loban and Saori Yoshida. The issue is clarity in connection to a classic and potentially disappearing Olympic sport. Honour can be given to Professional wrestling as a successful and highly grossing form or entertainment. Honour can be given to competitive forms of wrestling as pertaining to competitive sport. "Wrestler" is not appropriate according to definitions of main dictionaries. Professional wrestlers may impressively in the sphere of entertainment but they don't compete. WP:AT "The title indicates what the article is about". Titles like Bayley (wrestler) fail. Gregkaye ✍♪ 09:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I understand what it has to do with anything here, but Olympic wrestling isn't going anywhere. That story's a year old. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:37, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are digging your own hole here. You are self admitting to the fact you wish to use the wikipedia voice to discredit professional wrestlers as not being "real" wrestlers through the disambiguation process. You wish to honor those who participate in the (your words) " classic and potentially disappearing Olympic sport" by reserving the word wrestler only for participants in the amateur form. WP:COMMON The general public knows these "entertainers" as wrestlers. They know the event presented on TV as wrestling. Most of the professional wrestling organizations use the word wrestling in their acronym. Very few even include the word professional because the product they advertise is assumed. Wikipedia should not deviate from what the public will recognize in order to suit your agenda. Trackinfo (talk) 14:04, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Trackinfo. All I am doing is suggesting that we call a spade a spade. I am not digging with it. Do you regard it to be some form of discreditation for professional wrestlers to be described as "professional wrestlers"? Hold that thought. In the mean time please get your references right. What I said was: "The issue is clarity in connection to a classic and potentially disappearing Olympic sport." The only times I used the word root "real" was in saying "Ray Park doesn't really fight" and that, when choreographed battles are presented, "very few people infer reality in the situation". Please don't twist things. Ray Park is a great performer and there is no dishonour in performance. The only dishonour is in misrepresentation and yet, in your words, somehow the 'public knows these "entertainers" as wrestlers'. How did that happen? I cannot see it in any other way other than the misrepresentation of promoters. You mention my "agenda". My agenda is for truthful and honest representation. What's yours? Tell me one thing. Tell me honestly. Do professional wrestlers battle competitively? Its a simple question. No twisting. Just answer. Gregkaye ✍♪ 16:56, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gregkaye Your naming issue is with the promoters, who have called this form of entertainment "wrestling" since the 19th century. That is more than a century of established naming. That naming is well embedded with the highest rated cable television show for the last couple of decades known as World Wrestling Entertainment. Entertainment was a relatively recent addition forced by a trademark infringement lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund. WWE purchased its strongest competitors World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling. Its competitors are Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Ring of Honor Wrestling Entertainment, Women of Wrestling. Internationally, you would translate Luche Libre as free fighting, they translate other names as New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling. Its a billion dollar industry. I have emphasized the common word used in their naming. Millions of people watch these shows. They know the product as Wrestling so it is not the purview of wikipedia to call it by anything else. Trackinfo (talk) 18:09, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No answer? I suspected as much. My naming issue is with the description "Professional wrestling". Its a description that could be honestly used to differentiate from competitive sport. The pretence within the unqualified presentation of "wrestling" constitutes a continuation of a long standing identity theft. Gregkaye ✍♪ 19:08, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gregkaye You are barking in the wrong yard. Wikipedia is not the place to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS try to fix this. Trackinfo (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Trackinfo I'd quite appreciate it if you could drop the "barking" and other unnecessary slurs. Either use straightforward arguments or simply butt out. The "yard" we are in presents itself as an encyclopaedia. Its the right place for the presentation of honest and truthful descriptions. Some articles are already fairly described as related to professional wrestling. In a context of WP:PW, a main article entitled Professional wrestling, articles on people described in their texts as being professional wrestlers and a range of similar articles, it would greatly aid clarity and consistency for article titles to join the common theme. Gregkaye ✍♪ 19:56, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Feedback. The debate over professional wrestling has nothing to with how we should disambiguate. If "wrestler" is appropriate and there is no further ambiguity, we don't need to add any unnecessary words to the disambiguation. —innotata 18:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose but sympathise. Calling these entertainers wrestlers strikes me as highly insulting to genuine athletes who genuinely compete in wrestling, but calling them professional wrestlers is even worse, don't you think? Their profession is not wrestling at all. But the existing disambiguator is adequate, and commonly understood, so the guideline is clear enough and I don't think an appeal to WP:IAR (or perhaps accuracy) to rename them to (pretend wrestler) would succeed. Pity. Andrewa (talk) 18:56, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you remove the heel turn title and change it to Feud with Sasha Banks. Bayley is not officially a heel and some vandal users are claiming that she is. The only source is that on the storyline she and Sasha attacked each other both in outside the ring. They are both still babyfaces but have been feuding throughout June. Neither one of them had turned heel.--73.115.124.233 (talk) 05:14, 6 July 2018 (UTC) 73.115.124.233 (talk) 05:14, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to ask this, since it seems I'm always a little hesitant to edit such things, but it would be nice to have a current pic of Bayley either in her profile or down below where the heel turn article is, as she's cut her hair and changed her look quite drastically.
