Talk:Sonny King (wrestler)

Requested move

The result of the move request was: Move to Sonny King (wrestler). There's solid consensus that "Sonny King" is a better title, but no consensus that he's the primary topic over the singer. As it's still a WP:TWODABS situation someone may wish to review this in a few months to see if one or the other has emerged as the primary topic. Cúchullain t/ c 14:48, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Larry Johnson (wrestler) → Sonny King – Larry Johnson wrestled his entire career (at least 16 years) as Sonny King, never (as far as I've been able to tell) as Larry Johnson. The proposed page is occupied by a disambig between this article and Sonny King (singer). That would be deleted, and a "For the singer, see..." would be added here. Better to get the wrong article half the time than all the time, as a searcher does now. The wrestler gets the unqualified name because he worked across a wider territory. The singer mostly happened in Vegas, and stayed there. Plus, he already has the qualifier. --Relisted. --  tariq abjotu  06:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC) Relisted. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC) InedibleHulk (talk) 04:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC) 04:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You're asking to make this article WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Sonny King." Do you have any evidence to support this? Geographic scope is something, but it's a rather weak reason to name a primary topic. --BDD (talk) 16:42, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Far more Wikilinks pointing to the wrestler. Page views are pretty close, 841 for singer, 684 for wrestler. Google results are hard to analyze, there's a bit of both, but mainly another musician with that name, and also some other Sonny Kings. The geographic scope is a result of the wrestler working for more companies than the singer. Neither was clearly much more notable than the other, and it's neither's real name. Either being the primary topic would work better than neither (takes two clicks to get to either article now), and the singer already has the qualifier.


 * In my eyes, it's something like a 45-55 split. Is there something else I haven't considered? InedibleHulk (talk) 01:16, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I prefer Sonny King (wrestler) --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:26, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd agree with Sonny King (wrestler); I'm not sure it's safe to say that the wrestler is the primary topic over the singer. McPhail (talk) 16:02, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
