Talk:Barbara Roberts

Leaving Office
It has also been noted that the death of her husband was a factor in her decision to not run again. This should probably be mentioned as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katt (talk • contribs) 09:47, April 18, 2007

K
What does this stand for? When we find out, can we move it to her full name including the middle initial and make this a disambig for Millicent and K? Tyciol (talk) 03:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Not sure, but it's probably better to dab this as Barbara Roberts (Oregon governor) or Barbara Roberts (Oregon politician) instead of by middle name or initial. Nobody here knows her as "Barbara K. Roberts." How about that, and make a disambiguation page at Barbara Roberts? Funny, I never knew the gov' shared a name with Barbie :) -Pete (talk) 04:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. On a side note, if disambiguation was necessary the usual disambiguator is "(politician)". DrKiernan (talk) 11:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Barbara Roberts → Barbara Roberts (Oregon governor) – The reason why Barbara Roberts should be moved to Barbara Roberts (Oregon governor) is because there is a famous fictional doll with the name Barbara Millicent Roberts a.k.a "Barbie", which is very popular in the United States and Canada. The Governor is not WP:Primary topic. The current title "Barbara Roberts" should be a disambiguation page, with a link to Barbara Roberts (Oregon governor) and Barbara Millicent Roberts, the famous fictional doll.

 * Oppose. When I do a google search of just "Barbara Roberts", it takes me a awhile before I get anything that even remotely references Barbie (most of the top results are, in fact, about the Oregon governor). When I do a search of "Barbara Roberts Barbie", I get several "Did you know", "Surprising facts about", and the like articles about it being Barbie's official full name. These searches seem to suggest that this is an official name of Barbie that is not really widely used, known or searched. Thus, the Oregon governor should remain as the primary topic on grounds of primary usage. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose, per Zzyzx11. – SJ Morg (talk) 08:01, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Zzyzx11's sound analysis, there is a hatnote and is more than enough. --Cavarrone 11:58, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
