Talk:Little Milton (disambiguation)

Requested move 28 July 2018

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.

No consensus to move. There is a clear absence of consensus, and a reasonable argument against the move based on the primacy of the existing topic by page views. It is not automatically the case that a place name is more important by historical significance than a person. It depends on the importance that can be demonstrated for the person, and for the place. Substantial expansion and improvement of the article on the village by this name would likely go a long way towards making that case in a future move effort. bd2412 T 04:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

• Little Milton (disambiguation) → Little Milton
• Little Milton → James Milton Campbell Jr.

– While the singer does get more views, Little Milton, Oxfordshire is probably primary by the 2nd criteria. He could also go to Little Milton (musician). There is also Gerald Bostock on the DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:21, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

• Support Little Milton (disambiguation) → Little Milton, but Oppose the name move proposal Little Milton → James Milton Campbell Jr. I would Support the nominator's alternative name move proposal Little Milton → Little Milton (musician) per subject's own website.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 14:41, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose as this is the overwhelming WP:primary topic with 94% of the pageviews [1]. - Station1 (talk) 20:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

  And Little Milton, Wollongong is a newly created page and Gerald Bostock had mention of being "Little Mitton" when it was an article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:31, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

  In the unlikely event Little Milton, Wollongong gets a significant number of views over the next few months, we can reconsider. Gerald Bostock is not an article, if it were an article would never be titled Little Milton, and even if it were considered in pageview analysis, the musician still gets well over 80% of the views [2]. - Station1 (talk) 18:11, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose per page view data over an extended period and Station1. At this point, there appears to be a primary topic. Dekimasuよ! 19:11, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per usage. The Oxfordshire topic doesn't reach the "substantially greater" level for the second criterion. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
• Support, and move the musician to Little Milton (musician) per above. The village clearly primary when viewed by long-term significance, while the musician dominates on usage. Therefore it's a split-case, and the dab page serves readers best.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:33, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
