Requested move 14 February 2021

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that Denis Oswald be renamed and moved somewhere else, with the name being decided below.

result:
Moved. See below support to rename, and only two suggested titles by the nom. So in accordance with WP:OTHEROPTIONS I've decided to go with Denis Oswald (sports official), and a dab page will be created at the base name. If any editor disagrees with my choice of title, a new move request may be opened at any time to garner consensus for a different title. Kudos to all editors for your input, and Happy, Healthy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 06:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Denis Oswald → ? – No evidence that the rower/sports official is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Both he and Denis Oswald (codebreaker) get very few pages views, none gets significantly more. So should be moved and a DAB page created (Denis Oswald Jordan could also be linked on that DAB page. Not sure if (rower) or (sports official) would be better disambiguator- he's an Olympic rowing medallist, but also an IOC candidate. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:45, 14 February 2021 (UTC)—Relisting.

Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Interposed question:

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC does not give numbers what "much more likely than any other single topic" means. How is the practice here? Between these two persons, the long-term page view ratio appears to fluctuate around 4:1. --KnightMove (talk) 06:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus has not settled on the numbers, so the ratio can vary widely sometimes settling at 3:1 and other times requiring a higher ratio such as 7: or 8:1 or more. If you think one of the Oswalds is the primary topic, then feel free to open a fresh move request. P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 06:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
