Requested move 1 January 2019

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.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page as requested, per the discussion below. There is a slight preference here for "(radio personality)" over "(radio presenter)", and it also has the small advantage of being the original location of the page until 2007, whereas "(radio presenter)" has always been a redlink.

Scott Riggs (radio) → Scott Riggs (radio personality) – Clearer disambiguation as the subject isn't a "radio". The (radio) disambiguator - much like the (television) one - is only for topics related to radio technology and related concepts, not people or programming. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Netoholic (talk • contribs) 22:33, 1 January 2019 (UTC)--Relisted. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom (unless this conflicts with some kind of guideline, then please ping me). --Gonnym (talk) 21:13, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Scott Riggs (radio presenter). "Personality" in the title seems somewhat peacocky which would (ping) probably violate WP:NPOV IMO. SITH (talk) 23:27, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@StraussInTheHouse: I would've closed this had you not made this mild objection, so I've relisted. But there should be clarification on this; "personality" in this context is not peacocky of any sort. It's synonymous with 'presenter' and we already have many articles using it John Richards (radio personality), James Golden (radio personality), John Bell (radio personality) and Tom Campbell (radio personality) just to give a few, and we have a whole Category:Radio personalities by nationality which has more of examples across countries. Also note the article about the profession itself sits at Radio personality while Radio presenter redirects there. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Scott Riggs isn't a "radio", as stated verbatim by the nominator. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 08:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Scott Riggs (radio presenter). In ictu oculi (talk) 08:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Scott Riggs (radio presenter). -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support for WP:CONSISTENCY, as similar articles use (radio personality), while articles disambiguated (radio) are dissimilar to this one. However the "Scott Riggs isn't a radio" principle doesn't appear to generalise; e.g. the standard convention for basketball players is (basketball), hence Craig Robinson (basketball) even though "Craig Robinson isn't a basketball". 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- That's specific to some sports only. In general we don't do it. See WP:NCPDAB. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:09, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose we know he isn't a radio WP:NCPDAB doesn't say anywhere which is better עם ישראל חי (talk) 16:03, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It certainly implies it. It has Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) and Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer) instead of Roger Taylor (Queen) and Roger Taylor (Duran Duran). In none of the given examples does it suggest disambiguating with any term that doesn't describe what the person actually is. It's also longstanding practice to disambiguate in this way. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note - A WP:ENGVAR distinction needs to be made here. "Radio personality" is most common in American radio, whereas "radio presenter" is used elsewhere. Since this article is about an American radio personality, we should use that as Scott Riggs (radio personality). -- Netoholic @ 19:31, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving to Scott Riggs (radio personality) per Netoholic. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:55, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
