Talk:Frank Chester (politician)

Page move
I'm not convinced that the politician is overwhelmingly better known than the umpire, Frank Chester (umpire). I think this page should be at something like Frank Leslie Chester or Frank Chester (politician) and the disambiguation page Frank Chester (disambiguation) moved here. -- Ferma (talk) 17:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. --Dweller (talk) 21:33, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. extra 999  ( talk ) 14:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed x 3 (and adopted the article into WPCanada).  PK  T (alk)  18:00, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. I posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket yesterday, and at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography and Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board today, so perhaps worth waiting a few days for more input. I guess there is no rush, but this does not look controversial: can an admin just do this, or is there some procedure that must be followed? -- Ferma (talk) 17:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Due to the nature of the moves, an admin will be required (both Dweller and myself are admins, though), but we shouldn't need to go through the more formal requested moves process unless there are some objections. If no one opposes in the next day or so I'll be happy to perform the moves. Jenks24 (talk) 17:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Support move. Page view statistics seem to indicate that neither article is viewed often, averaging no more than 3-6 hits per day. Neither warrants the plain title per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Mind  matrix  19:16, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Support move. Neither one has a particularly strong claim of primary topic over the other one, and indeed the only reason this article actually has the plain title is that it was created in 2005 while the umpire didn't have an article until 2006. I'll note that while the "Frank Leslie Chester" title is acceptable as a redirect, the main article title should be Frank Chester (politician) per our disambiguation guidelines, which generally recommend "common name + occupational disambiguator" rather than "obscure full name". I've already done a dabfix run to correct the links that were actually intended for the umpire and to swap the politician's links to the Frank Chester (politician) redirect instead of the plain title, so the move can just go ahead anytime.
