Proposed move

 * Paul George (basketball) → Paul George

Per WP:PTOPIC, as of right now and without a doubt in the future since he is on track to becoming an elite NBA player, this is obviously the primary topic. BV talk 03:22, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

New picture
I came across this edit from the pending changes queue. I've captioned it and moved it to the paragraph it illustrates, but the image is pretty low res. I'll not object if it's removed. I just figured that if it was gonna be here, it might as well be captioned and in the right place and I didn't thing my "pending changes" authority stretch far enough to reject the pic entirely.

Orphaned references in Paul George (basketball)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Paul George (basketball)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Reference": From Tracy McGrady:  From LeBron James:  From Kobe Bryant:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Paul George (basketball) to Paul George
I do think so that this page should be moved to Paul George only, because i think that he is the most popular person with this name, i checked it on google and search everyone of them in the disambiguation page, do you agree? -PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! &#60;3) (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Requested moves

 * 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: Move. The consensus is that this is the primary topic of the name. Cúchullain t/ c 19:40, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

– The basketball player is clearly the primary. Hoops gza (talk) 18:27, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Paul George (basketball) → Paul George
 * Paul George → Paul George (disambiguation)


 * Oppose - on what basis should there be a primary for a common name? Search "Paul George" in Google Books doesn't suggest this Paul George is more significant to an encyclopedia than all other Paul Georges who have ever lived combined, on the contrary Google Books suggests he's a basketball player of interest to people interested in basketball. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Tend to support I see what in ictu oculi is saying, but in terms of usage this George is clearly primary. While I agree right now he's mostly of interest to basketball junkies, unlike say LeBron James who has transcended basketball, George's not that far behind in terms of basketball abilities or achievements, and he's much younger. The major factor, to me, is the non-notability of the other options. In my opinion, the environmentalist is barely notable if you read his page. The soccer player is young and therefore, it'll be hard to predict whether he'll make it big in his sport, but right now is not playing in one of the most prestigious leagues in the world. Timmyshin (talk) 01:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Google books is just one search tool available, so there is no need to be overly concerned with those results.  Calidum Talk To Me 01:50, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Paul George is more popular than all of them, other options are not that notable.-PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! &#60;3) (talk) 11:50, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. The environmentalist looks like his article is a glorified Paul George (husband of Adriane Carr), and the soccer player has yet to even appear in top-flight competition. These discussions don't happen in vacuums. Red Slash 17:41, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose: "More popular" right now doesn't equate to "so overwhelmingly more notable than all others by the same name that he is clearly primary topic for this name".  WP is not governed by fannish cheerleading (e.g. personal estimation of his basketball abilities, which has no bearing on an RM discussion).  The fact that Google Books isn't the only possible analysis to perform doesn't mean it's not relevant, and so far it's the only analysis that's actually been presented, so it's winning by default against all this WP:ILIKEIT/WP:IKNOWIT/WP:POPULARITY.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  09:36, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC says to look at pageviews. 229,519 for basketball, 28 for the environmentalist and 4831 for the soccer player. No one else has an article. Isn't a ratio of well over 40:1 enough? Red Slash 16:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The concencus has reached, the nomination is seven days old, so i think this request should be closed and to be moved. -PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! &#60;3) (talk) 10:18, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm actually OK with either leaving "Paul George" as a disam. page or making it the primary topic, but I have to say Google Books is a poor measure of notability. Paul George the basketball player probably shows up less there because he's 24 years old.  He's more in the news than on library shelves.  It does seem like of the three options he's the most notable.  But carry on. Rikster2 (talk) 12:05, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per PRIMARYTOPIC. Thanks to the pageview stats provided by Red Slash, it's apparent that 97.9% of Wikipedia readers looking for information on a Paul George are looking for information on this Paul George. 97.9 percent! That's a very strong usage claim. Neither of the other options suggest any long-term significance issues. The soccer player has appeared in one match for a team that plays in the top level of a league that UEFA currently ranks as the 24th best in Europe. The environmentalist's article looks more suitable for discussion at AfD than RM. The horticulturalist is a red link. This is not a difficult decision to make.

paul george clippers trade
the trade has been official. Oklahoma City Thunder traded star Paul George to the Los Angles Clippers and received Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, and Five first round picks (four of which are protected and two pick swaps) NoahBlaylock (talk) 02:47, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

The trade has not been official no word from the Clippers or the Thunder about this trade... Blackhawksfan1445 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Trade to the Los Angeles Clippers
After 2018-2019 Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard signed with the Clippers, George requested a trade from the OKC Thunder , which was then accepted. In the trade, the Thunder received point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, small forward Danilo Gallinari, the Miami Heat's 2021 first round pick (Owned by the Clippers), the Clippers 2022, 2024, and 2026 first round picks all unprotected, a lottery protected 2023 pick, and 2023 and 2025 pick swaps. The Clippers on the other hand, only received George. --2kKainDark (talk) 09:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The trade is based off of anonymous sources. Please wait until the trade is completed and a team or league source announces it on the record.  You can refer to WP:SPORTSTRANS for more details. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 09:56, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

--Why is there absolutely nothing in the profile regarding this trade, though? Couldn't there be a simple sentence in his bio that says something like, "According to numerous sources, Paul George has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers"? These aren't just rumors -- this trade is likely happening and no mention of it at all is needlessly protective. --Lasalleexplorer (talk) 19:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
