Requested move 22 July 2018

[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

Not moved; there is no consensus for the proposed move at this time. That may change in the future. bd2412 T 17:16, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

– While the basketball player is most often referred to as "Moritz Wagner" (22,000 Google News hits), he is referred to as "Moe Wagner" enough (10,000 hits) to make it the new article title per WP:NATURALDIS, instead of relying on the less natural "(basketball)" qualifier. As for the current Moritz Wagner, it averages only about 20 views/day, hardly enough to be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC ("naturalist" qualifier chosen based on his Wikidata description, feel free to suggest another). A new Moritz Wagner (disambiguation) should be created. The Moritz Wagner page itself should become a disambiguation page pointing to the two people. It seems too soon to make the basketball player the primary topic, as it's currently unclear if 20 years from now that he'll be more notable than the naturalist, but it's worth discussing here. He's been averaging 1000 views/day, spiked in the last few weeks after his selection in the 2018 NBA draft.

The Lakers list him as “Moritz” though (link). And so did Michigan last year. I’d prefer to see more universal adoption of “Moe.” Rikster2 (talk) 00:11, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly oppose second there is a primary topic the scientist. It is bizarre to be discussing this on the talk page of a Lakers rookie. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:01, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's being discussed here because his page has caused an evaluation of pages named Moritz Wagner. It doesn't really matter where the discussion is held, as long as it's held.--Rockchalk717 20:49, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move of “Moritz Wagner” to “Moritz Wagner (naturalist)” and use of Moritz Wagner as a DAB page. I just don’t see evidence that the naturalist has such a stranglehold on the name that he should be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This isn’t Charles Darwin or Douglas Fairbanks we’re talking about here. I’d argue the last few years (since the basketball player rose to prominence in college) most folks searching for “Moritz Wagner” are looking for the basketball player. This reminds me of when we moved the Hall of Fame basketball player Kevin McHale to “Kevin McHale (basketball)” and used the generic as a DAB when the actor Kevin McHale started to dominate the search results for the name. Even though I felt the basketball player in that case was the more “historically significant” of the two, it felt like a DAB was an appropriate compromise Rikster2 (talk) 22:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 25 July 2021

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

The result of the move request was: Disambiguate, i.e. Moritz Wagner → Moritz Wagner (naturalist), and Moritz Wagner turned to dab page. We have a clash of WP:PTOPIC #2 (long-term significance) and #1 (popularity) here; therefore, the policy suggests disambiguation, and most posters were amenable to it.

  • I realize some people oppose this move, but criticizing it as a "malformed" "grab" that has already been corrected before the !vote quite frankly seems spiteful, unnecessary and not particularly helpful for finding an actual consensus.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The basketball player is currently living person which has on wikidata less language versions than the death scientist. I also more tend to keep primary topic as status quo rather than disambiguation because of I do not see competence for naturalist. Sportsman give so extreme WP:Recentism. Supporters comments are not convincing for "disambiguation compromise", as recent pageviews are less important factor when we are talking about recentism on Wikipedia. Would you change "Dominos" in disambiguation based on pageviews/google results or Nirvana based on pageviews/google results? Dawid2009 (talk) 07:29, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, we would disambiguate, if a computer company called "Dominoes" reached $2T market cap. Obviously, apples are a much more important topic than dominoes, which is why neither company has been able to challenge the primacy of those terms. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:13, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to dab, no primary topic A few of the supporters above have also said they are fine with a dab too. I don't consider a page with < 20 views/day a primary topic. Guideline WP:NOPRIMARY is OK with dab with just two entries.—Bagumba (talk) 08:37, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate. I think the naturalist may be more historically important, but when there is a >50x discrepancy in pageviews we are doing our readers a complete disservice to serve up a page they didn't expect. Disambiguation is the best option when the two aspects of WP:PTOPIC collide. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:07, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Moe" instead of "Mo"

[edit]

Could we edit the first line to show that his nickname is "Moe", per this Defector article (https://defector.com/its-moe-wagner-not-mo-wagner) and the player's Twitter page (https://x.com/moritz_weasley)? 69.21.84.93 (talk) 21:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
