Talk:Scott Miller (country musician)

Comment by Hedgey42
This article may need to be renamed, as there is at least one other musician named Scott Miller — he of The Loud Family and Game Theory — Hedgey42 20:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. And they're both contemporary rock singers, too.  We'll probably have to create a disambiguation page for all three Scott Millers.  I may not have time to get around to that today, so feel free if you do; otherwise, I can probably get it done by tomorrow evening.  Thanks for letting me know. --Allen 20:42, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Requested move 31 October 2013

 * 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. As there are articles on two musicians of this name, the current title is insufficient and will be redirected to Scott Miller (disambiguation). It appears there is support for moving Scott Miller (California musician) to a title that more directly distinguishes it from this one; editors should feel free to be bold on that front and move it.

Scott Miller (musician) → Scott Miller (country musician) – For disambiguation with Scott Miller (California musician); this stub article should not be simply (musician), implying that this one is the primary musician. See "disambiguators need to be more specific" discussion in Naming_conventions_(people). Lwarrenwiki (talk) 02:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Support - seems uncontroversial, Blue Suede News says "Scott Miller was the primary songwriter from the V-Roys, a promising alt country band-gone-wrong that split up in late 1999." the other Scott Miller has less but still enough coverage.In ictu oculi (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. No disagreements with that point, including that neither one of them seems more notable than the other to be declared the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Steel1943  (talk) 09:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:


 * It would seem to be ideal if both could be disambiguated either by location or genre. Since this one can be identified with either Virginia or Tennessee, perhaps the other could be Scott Miller (pop musician)? Game Theory is called a rock band, but it and The Loud Family are also categorized as jangle pop. --BDD (talk) 19:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * As requester of the present move, I agree with BDD's suggestion. Discussion will soon be closed (7 day rule) and is unanimous so far. After this page is moved, I hope BDD will go forward and request moving Scott Miller (California musician) to Scott Miller (pop musician). I will vote to support that move. --Lwarrenwiki (talk) 21:09, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Now recognizing BDD as experienced admin, I leave closure per WP:RMCI to you, with thanks. I support suggested multi-move no matter how you do it. --Lwarrenwiki (talk) 21:31, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
