Requested move 18 March 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: not moved. Page history split to Duane Johnson (artist); that article which was "deleted" out-of-process has been restored. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Reply



– This person is the only one named "Duane Johnson". The actor/wrestler Dwayne Johnson, while unquestionably more famous, is not so much so that a misspelling of his name would still be equally or more notable than someone with that name outright. A hatnote on both pages is appropriate here, without the need for parenthetical disambiguation. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 01:57, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per this information found by Roman Spinner. It appears that the article at Duane Johnson was deleted against consensus, and should be reverted. Another RM could then be started concerning the primary topic, and whether to move Duane Johnson to Duane Johnson (artist). 162.208.168.92 (talk) 17:06, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
It wasn’t even deleted since the original history is still in the page history.--67.70.100.30 (talk) 20:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Right. I hesitate to revert it right now, since we're in the middle of an RM, but I believe it should be reverted. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 22:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Taking into account the above vote by 162.208.168.92 and comment by 67.70.100.30, I am revising the stricken portion of my vote above at 04:41, 18 March 2021, so that it states, "but would support Duane JohnsonDuane Johnson (artist), accompanied by creation of the Dwayne Johnson (disambiguation) page, with Duane Johnson redirecting to it". —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 02:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support this, striked my old vote.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:29, 19 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Following up on the above vote by In ictu oculi, if consensus skews in that direction, I would also support a simple WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC Duane Johnson disambiguation page, using the basic form in which the page currently exists, that would list Duane Johnson (artist), Duane Johnson (basketball) and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Any users who might mistype The Rock's name as "Duane" would arrive at the dab page, see The Rock's name as one of the entries and proceed from there. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 08:31, 21 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Because there still appears to be a lack of consensus regarding the most intuitive resolution to this nomination, we might want to examine each of the elements. Since what is currently the Duane Johnson dab page (and its associated talk page where this discussion is taking place) has the revision history for the artist, this talk page's main header should be moved to Talk:Duane Johnson (artist) and the header for the dab page itself should be moved to Duane Johnson (artist), with the page's content returned to this last point in its revision history.
Duane Johnson (basketball) would remain as is and then a new disambiguation page would be created, with consensus deciding whether its main header should be Duane Johnson and simply list all three men or whether its header should be Dwayne Johnson (disambiguation), with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and "Duane Johnson" redirecting to him. A hatnote atop his page would point to the dab page, where the two men named Duane Johnson would be listed as subsidiary topics. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 15:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Based on the above, I support Duane Johnson disambiguation page with Duane Johnson (artist), Duane Johnson (basketball) and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson listed. DaHuzyBru (talk) 09:57, 24 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
