Talk:Finn O'Connor

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved. These is a clear consensus not to treat this fictional character as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The soap character does currently have more page views, but given the transient nature of minor soap opera characters, it is reasonable for editors to form a judgement on whether they have substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Finn O& → Finn O'Connor – I don't watch the show myself, but he's quite clearly more notable than the canoeist. Unreal7 (talk) 01:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - agree with already implemented move (Unreal7 moved page Finn O'Connor to Finn O'Connor (canoeist): Not the primary topic)... In books the primary is neither of them but Felim Finn O'Connor an Irish chieftain of the 1470s mentioned in a couple of en.wp articles but with no redirect.

 * Oppose - not primary topic. --Rushton2010 (talk) 22:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No evidence to show this supporting television character in the UK's 4th/ 5th most watched soap opera is more notable than the Canoeist. And even if he is, "Finn O'Connor" should be a disambiguation page. IJA (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I'm always uncomfortable with making a fictional character primary over a real person unless the character is overwhelmingly well-known. This one certainly isn't. I'm British and I've never heard of him. What chance have non-Britons? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:40, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support, Regardless of whether or not you have heard of him (for the record I haven't either) he is overwhelming the primary topic.

Finn O'Connor (Hollyoaks) has been viewed 17365 times in the last 90 days

Finn O'Connor (canoeist) has been viewed 71 times in the last 90 days (from Jan 20th when page was moved). 

Finn O'Connor has been viewed 308 times in the last 90 days. (The canoeist article before the move)

If 46:1 doesn't constitute WP:PRIMARYTOPIC then what on earth does? Hopefully the closing admin will take policy into account rather than anecdotal "Never heard of him" replies. Zarcadia (talk) 22:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Finn O'Connor (Hollyoaks) → Finn O'Connor – The canoeist only has 697 views in the last three years...|Finn_O%27Connor_(canoeist) Unreal7 (talk) 01:19, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - not only does the canoeist only have 697 views across 3 years, the article is basically a sentence and a template. Should that be an article at all? Soaper1234 - talk  11:14, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Due to the lack of page views for the canoeist as stated above. Can find no reason to oppose. JC7V (talk) 16:36, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
