Talk:Rizwan Ahmed (cricketer)

Requested move 18 January 2015

 * 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. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: not moved. Moves arguing primary use are usually supported by page-view or ghit stats—there's no evidence provided here to bolster the primary use argument. The opposers have mentioned google searches and article length to argue that the cricketer is not primary use. DrKiernan (talk) 18:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Rizwan Ahmed (cricketer) → Rizwan Ahmed – Currently, Rizwan Ahmed redirects to the article for actor Riz Ahmed. While Rizwan is his full first name, there's no reason anyone would search him under his full name when he is credited as simply "Riz". In the off chance that they are, a hatnote on this article would suffice to direct them to the right place. --Relisted.

 * Oppose - Spelling differences between "Riz" and "Rizwan" do not overcome their similar birth name, "Rizwan". I'm sure that an average reader will associate "Rizwan Ahmed" to only an actor. Maybe it is associated with both. Disambiguation page should be created with the proposed title. By the way, the cricketer biography is a stub, so this is another reason to stick to my vote. --George Ho (talk) 08:39, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think George Ho is right. The cricketer is not primary for the full name "Rizwan Ahmed", even if the actor is primarily referred to as Riz. Note also that there are two other potential clashes, the Director General of Uttar Pradesh police force, and a Pakistani clothing designer, who currently don't have articles but possibly could in the future. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Support If the actor is better known as Riz Ahmed, there shouldn't be a problem with having the cricketer at Rizwan with a hatnote. Number   5  7  14:59, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hatnotes can change based on moves. --George Ho (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind hatnotes... This article is a stub, so I'm not convinced that renaming the article helps significantly. George Ho (talk) 03:56, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
