Ethnicity

Ren is a Chihuahua with a Dutch surname. "Höek" is the Dutch word for "hook." I must assume that his mother was Mexican and his father was of Dutch descent. Lestrade (talk) 22:32, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Clearly no consensus for the proposed move at this time. Move opposed for valid policy reasons with no rebuttal. (non-admin closure) — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ren and Stimpy (characters) → Ren and Stimpy – The characters' article should be "Ren and Stimpy". The show on which they star is The Ren & Stimpy Show, hence it is unfair for "Ren and Stimpy" to redirect to the show. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:45, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment can't see this helps decrease confusion. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:31, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. "Fairness" has nothing to do with it. The WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the string "Ren and Stimpy" (or "Ren & Stimpy") is obviously the show; the characters basically don't exist apart from it, other than in show-related marketing items like T-shirts. We could even merge the characters article into the show article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 09:36, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support move... I think. This is a WP:TWODABS situation, and anyone looking for the show can just click on the hatnote. ONR (talk) 11:58, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. jamacfarlane (talk) 22:22, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cornish Rex, not manx cat
