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. 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: not moved. No prejudice against a new RM in future, but at the moment the consensus is that's he's not yet consistently prominent enough to be the primary topic. Jenks24 (talk) 11:28, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Reply



– This Andrew Robertson (the footballer) is far more notable than any of the other Andrew Robertsons on Wikipedia, since he is an international footballer and has just undergone a multi-million pound move to a Premier League side. For this reason, I propose making this page the default page for Andrew Robertson with a sentence at the top pointing to the disambiguation page.

@In ictu oculi: Sorry, I'm not sure I follow your argument. I understand that there are many people going by the name of Andrew Robertson but my basis for this proposal is that anyone searching for Andy/Andrew Robertson will almost certainly be looking for this person (WP:PTOPIC). Indeed, anyone saying "Andrew Robertson" in a Glasgow pub will almost certainly be referring to him!
@IJA: The coverage of his rise from amateur to international football in less than a year has consistently been covered in the Scottish press. He's one of the most talked about players in Scotland at the moment and is expected to be the first choice left back for the national team for several years. Most of the other Andrew Robertson articles on Wikipedia are stubs and a quick google [1] shows that he is clearly covered more than any other Andrew Robertson.

Well, yes, these kind of discussions are subjective, which is why Google Books is a better test. Please note that the issue is not "Which Andrew Robertson comes top in 2014?" but "Is any Andrew Robertson more significant than all others that have ever lived combined?

  • Oppose, as it's too soon to say that the footballer is clearly the primary topic. If he goes on to be a regular international and Premier League player he may become the primary topic, but I think it is too early to make that determination. Maybe also worth noting that he is often denoted as Andy Robertson [2], rather than Andrew. Andy Robertson is presently a redirect to the Andrew Robertson disambiguation page.

@ Username of a generic kind: I'm fully aware of the player myself (I'm actually an admirer of him) and I agree that he is a more recent subject than his names sakes, also he is more likely to be in the news than the other Andrew Robertsons as most of the others are deceased/ retired. However being in the news recently doesn't mean he is more notable. And yes, he is talked about player and supposedly "the next big thing". But how many times have we heard of promising young players being described as "the next Messi" and it never materialises? Perhaps in the future when/ if he is more of an established player, he might be the most notable Andrew Robertson and we could move it then per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC but I don't think we're at that stage yet.

– As with Steve Cook, the pageview analysis of eight articles with the same name as each other with different occupations shows that 99.5% of them were viewed by the footballer. Also he is certainly more notable than four years ago (the original RM) when he was playing with Scottish teams before he moved to Hull. He had since made more appearances for Scotland and is now one of the captains for his country.[1] Iggy (Swan) 12:11, 28 December 2018 (UTC)--Relisted. –Ammarpad (talk) 15:53, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

What does this mean?

edit

"He became the first Scot to win the tournament since Darren Fletcher in 2008[33] and the first to play in a winning team since Paul Lambert in 1997." What's the difference? Does it mean that Fletcher was an unused substitute? If so, that should be made a bit clearer, because the wording is confusing at present Tpth (talk) 22:20, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Agree and have reworded it a bit. Crowsus (talk) 22:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
