Talk:Weber (surname)

Is this a heavily visited entry? If not, I believe that 'weber' should go directly to 'Max Weber', with a redirect to this entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.72.148.102 (talk • contribs) 14:25, 30 May 2006

Which Max Weber ? There are three listed in the article. Personally I would say that Carl Maria was the logical default. In view of the disagreement I suggest leaving it as it is. Chris Weber 82.13.143.58 22:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to add myself to this list. My historical contributions have been small so far, but I'm running a blog AlxWbr--Alex Weber. Is this okay? Alexander Weber —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.205.147.118 (talk) 11:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

People
Even while adding Amy Weber to the list, I noticed how long it is. There ought to be some limiting criteria (such as notability?) for inclusion here, but I don't have the time or motivation to cull these single-handedly.

I also left the entry for Ted Weber there, although Weber brand audio equipment in the list of companies should be sufficient. (I'm not questioning notability, but both were added by the same IP address about a month apart) —JamesEG (talk) 16:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Rename page to "Weber (surname)"?
According to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pageviews_Analysis (specifically |Weber_(unit) here), the page Weber (unit) is much more popular than this page. Should we, therefore, rename this page so that a person searching for "Weber" will be redirected to either the disambiguation page or the page for the unit?--AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 06:33, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I think Weber (unit) should be renamed to Weber, and this page should be renamed to Weber (surname). I think a large amount of the traffic on Weber (surname) might actually be people trying to find Weber (unit). 『π』  BalaM314  〘talk〙  15:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Weber (disambiguation) moved to Weber as well. (closed by non-admin page mover) –  15:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Weber → Weber (surname) – According to pageviews, the page Weber (unit) is far more frequently visited than Weber (surname). I would like to move Weber to Weber (surname) and Weber (unit) to Weber. 『π』 BalaM314  〘talk〙  17:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Move Weber to Weber (surname) and Weber (disambiguation) to Weber. I buy that the surname isn't the primary topic but Max Weber has strong claims to long-term significance, i.e., is the subject of almost all results for weber on Google Scholar. Dab page should spotlight Max Weber and Weber (unit) as common uses at the top. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 18:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support although the unit comes from the surname the unit has 23,762 views compared with only 3,148 for the surname and there are other uses.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 19:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support with Hameltion's addition, i.e. a multimove leaving the dab at the base name. Most references to "Weber" are to one person of that name rather than the surname itself.  I fix incoming wikilinks to Weber as they arrive; most are intended for Carl Maria von Weber or Weber Carburetors. Certes (talk) 10:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Weber → Weber (surname) and Weber (disambiguation) → Weber. Oppose Weber (unit) → Weber. No primary topic by long-term significance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I've changed my mind, now supporting Weber → Weber (surname) and Weber (disambiguation) → Weber 『π』  BalaM314  〘talk〙  13:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Weber → Weber (surname) and Weber (disambiguation) → Weber. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 02:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
