The result of the move request was: move back to Andrea (The Walking Dead). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:15, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Andrea Harrison → Andrea (The Walking Dead) – With this edit, Goldenboy moved the article to Andrea Harrison based on a video game (The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct) revealing her last name as Harrison. And here, he added a citation for the name change. This move (the article title change) is a clear-cut violation of the WP:Common name policy. Name-wise, Andrea is clearly most well known simply by her first name. And I don't think we should be giving WP:Undue weight to what a video game states to be her last name. This move, because it has a chance of being contested (like I am doing now), should have gone through the Requested moves process; that page states, "Use this process if there is any reason to believe that a move would be contested." Based on that, I would have moved the article back and then noted the WP:Common name policy here on the talk page. But I don't think that Goldenboy is familiar with the WP:Common name policy, and I didn't want to take the risk of him simply moving the article back to "Andrea Harrison" again. So I have started this move discussion instead. I will alert the WikiProjects that this talk page is tagged with to this discussion. From what I can see, the Andrea (The Walking Dead) article should follow the same path as the Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) article. Faith's last name was revealed in a role-playing game and has been used for subsequent material relating to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, but she is most commonly simply known as Faith and therefore that is the title of her Wikipedia article.

 * Support per WP:Common name. A name revealed in passing is trivia and not how character is generally known. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:52, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per above, and request to amend to include moving Amy Harrison (The Walking Dead) back to Amy (The Walking Dead) for the same reasons. BOZ (talk) 18:44, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - straightforward. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:28, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support both Harrison girls being moved back to the articles titles without their last name, per nomination and BOZ. Fortdj33 (talk) 01:05, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - I'm not familiar with the franchise, but if her last name is a revelation and not something commonly used or referred to, then the article should be moved to Andrea (The Walking Dead). Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Note: Goldenboy has retired (or at least retired the Goldenboy account) following these move incidents (the aforementioned Andrea and Amy matters). Flyer22 (talk) 00:27, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - it looks unanimous, well over a week later - anyone want to close this? 129.33.19.254 (talk) 00:10, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Centric episode(s)
A discussion regarding the meaning and value of listing "Centric episode(s)" in the character infobox has been started at Talk:The Walking Dead (TV series). Please feel free to join discussion if interested. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 02:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Sub-headings for comic book series in the article
The television series biography is separated by seasons, so why isn't the comic book series - who has more information about her - not separated by books/volumes/compendiums? This is a matter with deceased television series characters whose graphic novel counterparts live on. So why not divide it for Andrea - a much bigger character in the comic book series? I believe this is a television series bias and sub-headings should be used for the comics. Andrea has existed for over 11 years in the comic, and only 2 on the show. thelonggoneblues (talk) 20:33, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Similar, related move discussion
There is a similar discussion at Talk:Sasha Williams (The Walking Dead); it is something to consider regarding the above move discussion and future move discussions like these. How do we judge which article gets a last name and which article doesn't, for example? Flyer22 (talk) 21:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
