Talk:Peter Hutton (media executive)

Improving Page

Came across this page and see the 4+ year tags. Going to see what I can do to improve it.MaskedSinger (talk) 18:36, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Just updated it. Added references and toned down promotional language. Given I don't think it now reads like an ad and removed subjectivity I think the tags can now be removed. If anyone else thinks the page needs further clean up, feel free MaskedSinger (talk) 17:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Change Name

I think the name of the page should be changed to Peter Hutton. Anyone have any opinions on this and what it should be? MaskedSinger (talk) 21:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to Peter Hutton (media executive). Consensus is that (media executive) is more specific than (executive). (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 17:34, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Peter Matthew Hutton → Peter Hutton (executive) – Don't think the Matthew is required. Like the other Peter Hutton here, the qualifier is all that should be necessary in order to differentiate which one he is. There are only mentions online of his his middle name but they're scraped from hereWP:MIDDLENAME All things being equal, his middle name isn't used. MaskedSinger (talk) 16:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

• Comment: The disambiguation term "(executive)" seems a bit unusual. Perhaps we can come up with a better term. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

  By all means BarrelProof. What do you suggest? MaskedSinger (talk) 19:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

  The best I can think of so far is "(media executive)". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:23, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

  I find it hard to articulate why I prefer "⁠(media executive)" over "⁠(executive)", but perhaps it is because "executive" is a word that can mean very different things, including governmental, military, and business roles, and can vary a lot in terms of the level of status being described (e.g., per the disambiguation page about "executive", an "account executive" might be only a low-level trainee, but the executive branch of a government is a major institution, and "executive" might mean the very top level of an organization, such as the president of a country). I found 149 titles on Wikipedia that use "⁠(executive)", but that is a very small number when considering how many articles there are in total. I found 17 that use "⁠(media executive)". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• Comment - What about middle initial? Cuñado ☼ - Talk 20:22, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

  I don't see any sources that refer to him with his middle initial. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. The article contains 19 inline cites, none of which refer to subject as "Peter Matthew" or "Peter M.". As for form of the parenthetical qualifier, Category:Chief executives in the media industry also lists Richard Dunn (television executive) and Jan Müller (executive). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

I would also support the form "Peter Hutton (media executive)", per BarrelProof. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:07, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• Support Peter Hutton (media executive). We usually try to avoid "executive" as too vague. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
