Frank Underwood (House of Cards) → Frank Underwood – This article is by far the most popular usage of Frank Underwood. The page that occupies that namespace at the moment, Frank Underwood, is a very short article about a blues musician. In contrast, this article about the House of Cards protagonist is very clearly the primary topic for the name, and is even being considered for categorization as a Good Article. Page view statistics show that this article has had 51,930 views this month, while the article currently occupying the primary topic title has had only 1384 views this month, the chart indicating that the vast, vast majority of even these are as a result of confusion between it and this article. I am aware and sensitive to the fact that this may be confused with recentism, but the other article is about an elderly blues musician with little information, unlikely to be increasing in popularity. There is no doubt that this particular character's article is the primary topic and should be moved as such. There are no other articles about people named Frank Underwood other than this and the one currently occupying the primary topic title. Ithinkicahn (talk) 04:25, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The name of a character in a current TV series is likely to produce a spike in hits, as has happened in his case, but the long-term significance of a fictional character will fade. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose - references in books are to a third Frank Underwood (American songwriter) of the 1960s to whom a Lena Horne/Sammy Davis Jr was mislinked to the English folk musician. Suggest the English Frank Underwood be moved to Frank Underwood (English musician) to distinguish from the more notable American musician. However the American Frank Underwood reverted to his real name Franklin Underwood in the 1970s. Have created Frank Underwood (disambiguation) and suggest per WP:RECENT that a dab is probably most stable long-term primary in this case. Francis Underwood was a redirect to Francis Henry Underwood, it's now (for the moment at least) a dab. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:13, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose WP:RECENTISM and you haven't said what you're going to do with the existing article. If you want to delete it, do a WP:AFD first. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 01:05, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Thanks In ictu oculi, yours seemed like the best solution. If you could assist in closing this, that'd be really great. Ithinkicahn (talk) 10:28, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Request for Comments

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 02:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Reception summary

@TonyTheTiger: I don't see how adding a summary of the critical reception of Spacey's portrayal and the character itself is vandalism, especially considering that there already was mention of accolades that Spacey received in the paragraph I added it in.Joef1234 (talk) 01:16, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I did not perceive the content that your removed as helpful to the article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:48, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, I think if we are going to add an awards summary, which is arguably apart of the critical reception, we should put a short critical synopsisJoef1234 (talk) 15:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I am removing the content until you can source it with a WP:IC from a WP:RS.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Reception Length

Does anyone think that we should trim the reception length and/or maybe not by each season because each section (with maybe the exception of season three) is saying the same thing--Joef1234 (talk) 06:21, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Presidency

Underwood resigned from the office in season 5. Why it is not mentioned in the article? Is there any problem about it? UndDerDie (talk) 18:27, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Season 5 has not been included in his biography.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Categories

I have removed this from Category:House of Cards as it is already in Category:House of Cards (U.S. TV series) which is a sub category of the former.Dunarc (talk) 22:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
