Requested move 21 January 2017

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: No consensus to move. Possible primary topic move, but the stats cited by Cuchullain are hugely wrong, skewed by the recent move. All the links to the target are for the other guy. A better case and consensus would be need to change primarytopic. The case would be better if the links to the retargeted redirect were fixed first.

David Sun (businessman) → David Sun – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. He's the co-founder of the major technology company Kingston Technology, ranked by Forbes as the 90th richest American with a net worth of $5.9 billion [1]. Far better known than the Hong Kong auditor. Zanhe (talk) 04:15, 21 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. JudgeRM (talk to me) 17:04, 29 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

Hi, Zanhe. I saw that you renamed the other guy of the same name to David Sun Tak-kei. Why not... do the multi-RM thing instead? --George Ho (talk) 08:53, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: I moved the auditor article out of the way to turn David Sun into a disambiguation page, but then I saw that most Google results for the name are for the billionaire, so I initiated the move request. -Zanhe (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: This RM seems based purely on a personal opinion that wealth overrides position. The other has a very senior role in government, and has previously featured in news for unfortunate reasons. By significance it is a line call whether either may be the primary topic, there may even be a case for a two-way DAB. Evidence of common use is lacking, and it is not going to be easy to find such. But worth relisting again. Andrewa (talk) 18:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As already explained above, this RM is based on my Google searches, not just personal opinion. All top Google results for "David Sun" -wikipedia are about the billionaire and entrepreneur. The auditor does not show up until the second page, and only once near the bottom. Besides, the auditor's government role is not that senior. Hong Kong is a SAR of China, roughly equivalent to a province (see List of current Chinese provincial leaders). And David Sun Tak-kei, as the chief auditor of HK, holds a sub-provincial post. -Zanhe (talk) 18:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems roughly equivalent to the Auditor-General of New South Wales in seniority, is that a fair comparison? Andrewa (talk) 07:52, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose sorry but sources seem evenly divided. And there is a third David Sun CEO of Home Inn. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@In ictu oculi: No need to apologize, I respect your opinion. A third article with the same name would make a difference to the discussion, although I can't find much information about the Home Inn CEO. -Zanhe (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In that we now have three, I have set up David Sun (disambiguation). Andrewa (talk) 08:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This subject receives 96.6% of the page views.[2] He also has more international significance as head of a multinational company compared to the Hong Kong auditor. Plus, even with the dab page created, David Sun already redirects here, and base names should never point to disambiguated names.--Cúchullain ^t/c 15:38, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
