Talk:Ashanti (singer)

Requested move 15 September 2020

 * 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. A primary topic needn't meet both criteria, but either criterion is a valid argument here. (WP:GLOBAL is an article-content essay, not guideline or policy, and wouldn't factor in to arranging the pages.) --  JHunterJ (talk) 13:53, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

– There is no other mononymous use of Ashanti that is prominent enough to warrant changing this article's title; it would be throwing a fork in the way of readers for no reason Happypillsjr ✉ 22:50, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ashanti (singer) → Ashanti
 * Ashanti → Ashanti (disambiguation)
 * Note: the page Ashanti is a dab page with content. It is ineligible as a page move target unless it is also renamed. This request has been modified to reflect that fact.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 08:03, 17 September 2020 (UTC)


 * What are the page views for this and other Ashantis?  O.N.R.  (talk) 01:02, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support Per PRIMARYTOPIC. This topic dominates |Ashanti_(album)|Ashanti_(1979_film)|Ashanti_(1982_film)|Ashanti_people page views —В²C ☎ 06:28, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is nonsensical, the Ashanti (or Asante) are an ethnic group in Ghana. Would violate WP:GLOBAL --Varavour (talk) 09:30, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose The singer may be the only unambiguous use of "Ashanti" as a single word, but Ashanti Empire and its various associated articles are arguably more significant, and certainly more encyclopedic, meanings of the term. Tevildo (talk) 09:57, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The Ashanti ethnic and cultural group and their empire are the clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:13, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per what WP:PRIMARYTOPIC actually says. were you not aware of the meaning of Ashanti? Would you like to consider withdrawing this proposal now? In ictu oculi (talk) 13:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose, not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by long-term significance.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose This seems like one of those Apple vs Apple Inc. cases where even overwhelmingly clear interest in page views is overridden by consideration of long term significance.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:48, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 🍏 But the fruit is considered primary by long term significance at Apple. In this case the supposed historical significance is insufficient to warrant a primary topic for that topic, but the page views favoring primary topic for the singer are overwhelming. So I don’t think the Apple comparison supports even a weak Oppose here. To the contrary. —В²C ☎ 00:04, 17 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:NOPRIMARY. The Ashanti language and Ashanti people, and many other topics such as Ashanti Region, are likely to have far more long-term significance than this singer. The criterion for page views is not some kind of tie-breaker for long-term significance: both criteria must be met to establish a primary topic. 94.21.78.115 (talk) 07:19, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * A requirement to meet both criteria is a misconception apparently held by all Supporters here. “In most cases, the topic that is primary with respect to usage is also primary with respect to long-term significance; in many other cases, only one sense of primacy is relevant.”. I hope the closer evaluates the !votes accordingly. —В²C ☎ 13:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
