Talk:Ted Wass

Requested move 11 February 2016

 * 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: Move the actor. Clear consensus that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC between WP:TWODABS; disambiguation with the other Ted Wass will be handled with a hat note. Cúchullain t/ c 18:27, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

– Two reasons here. 1. The second Ted Wass is only pulling like 100 views every 90 days. This guy is getting almost 90 times that. I'd say this guy has already proved he is more notable and will have more significance in the future based on his achievements already, while the other guy has been dead for 60+ years and is clearly just kind of a blip on the radar. 2. Ted Wass hasn't been an actor in many years, moving to directing instead, and he is now a very significant director, having done 60+ shows and hundreds of episodes of television. This means the current title is not accurate. But if you moved it to Ted Wass (director) you might have people complaining the title doesn't reflect his career as an actor. So, this is my proposal. (Alternatively, if no other Ted Wass are found on Wikipedia, the DAB can be deleted entirely.) Nohomersryan (talk) 15:04, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Ted Wass (actor) → Ted Wass
 * Ted Wass → Ted Wass (disambiguation)
 * Support (move 1) per |Ted_Wass_%28footballer%29 the relative page views, which demonstrate a primary topic.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:35, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose (move 2) per WP:TWODABS, which states "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed".--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:35, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, but there are some Wikipedians who are more adept at finding out random people mentioned than I am, so maybe there's some obscure Ted Wass linked on a page that could be included Nohomersryan (talk) 15:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC).


 * Support primary topic determination; quash the unnecessary disambiguation page. bd2412  T 22:55, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
