Sheriff Woody → Woody (Toy Story) – It is a much better name for the article and some people have not heard the term Sheriff Woody as you can see in talk:woody Kaleeb18 (talk) 22:59, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). 162 etc. (talk) 01:04, 5 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Not a technical request, but I would support this move. Rarely referred to as "Sheriff Woody" as a proper phrase, much more commonly as just Woody. --  Wikipedical (talk) 01:07, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The technical part is that they have a redirect page called Woody (Toy Story) that redirects them to Sheriff Woody so I cant move the page because we need to delete thst redirect psge firdt Kaleeb18 (talk) 12:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:20, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. In fact, maybe it could simply be moved to Woody as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and Woody moved to Woody (disambiguation)?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes that is what I tried but it did not work. I put exactly what you said on the talk page of Woody and it got opposed Kaleeb18 (talk) 12:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * To be fair, that move request was both malformed and had no actual rationale. It should have been a dual move request listed on the character's page as well, and it should have had evidence the character was primary topic by page views and significance. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * is there a possibility you could do that because im still new to Wikipedia Kaleeb18 (talk) 11:34, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. No one ever calls him "Sheriff Woody", he's just known as Woody. J I P  &#124; Talk 11:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support as much more likely search term and per WP:COMMONNAME. Ifnord (talk) 13:31, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, specifically through ZXCVBNM's arguments. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 00:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support - By checking online scripts, "Sheriff Woody" was rarely mentioned in the dialogue for the first two films (only once by Andy in the first and mostly in Woody's Roundup TV series in the second) and not mentioned once in the final two. I also agree that the article name should be Woody per massview analysis, ignoring all irrelevant entries including Linux which tops that list. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 09:32, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

New Image
We need an updated picture in the theme park section for Woody that is what his character used to look like in the parks but he got an update so if anyone has a good picture of the updated version of him please upload it Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

– I Propose we move Woody (Toy Story) to Woody, and the disambiguation page Woody be changed to Woody (disambiguation) per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Woody (Toy Story) monthly page view is 18,229. While Woody the disambiguation page get a monthly view of 572. Woody plant gets 4,163 monthly views. Woodland gets 7,630. SunTrap get 349 monthly views. Woody (singer) only gets 272. Woody (name) only gets 721. DJ Woody gets 187. Woody, Texas barely gets 192 monthly views. Woody, California. The only thing I see getting more views is Wood at 29,956 monthly views, but no one calls wood, when talking about its name, Woody they call it wood. Note all I did was look at the monthly average of all the articles that came from the woody disambiguation page so there could be some things I didn't see. |Woody|Woody_plant|Woodland|SunTrap|Woody_(singer)|Woody_(name)|DJ_Woody|Woody,_Texas|Wood=Sheriff_Woody This is where I got my info from. Kaleeb18 (talk) 02:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Woody (Toy Story) → Woody
 * Woody → Woody (disambiguation)
 * Oppose woody is a common enough adjective, no harm is being done to searchers having (Toy Story) on the article. At the most a primary redirect. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:36, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose Page views do not prove that Woody (Toy Story) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and may in fact be a symptom of WP:RECENTISM. (See also previous discussion in ) ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 09:58, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * oh ok Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Kaleeb18, you just proposed moving Woody → Woody (disambiguation) last week and were roundly rejected (albeit that RM was only kept open for a day). Do you have a hearing problem? wbm1058 (talk) 13:00, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry I just thought maybe this time if I did research and actually presented something Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:31, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I also thought that some people would support because said that he thought it could be moved to just Woody. Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the above. Now lets all go where everybody knows your name.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:08, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per link I provided in the previous RM near the end of my reasoning - that does not always mean primary topic and "wood" is more common than this character. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 12:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Woody" is too generic a word to specifically refer to this character. J I P  &#124; Talk 01:44, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Woody is far too generic of a word to refer specifically to this character. --Khajidha (talk) 17:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support He is far more recognized as Woody within media mentions, none of the other entries seem to be as notable compared to him. There are similar fictional character articles that use a generic name such as Mario and Luigi. Should we change those titles as well if applying the same logic most of the comments here are pointing out? SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 04:02, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would say, yes, we should change those. --Khajidha (talk) 18:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose, too many choices. My first thought would be Woody Allen, or Woody Woodpecker, then you've got your Woody Hayes, and so on. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:10, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC it says that a primary topic is not based on what you think of first Kaleeb18 (talk) 01:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Mia Farrow would differ. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:06, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is a sensible proposal and I see where the nom is coming from. However, we have the issue, as pointed out in the previous RM, of long-term significance (which favours the generic meanings of the word over the name of the character). And there's also no primary topic with respect to usage: the pageviews can only serve as vague hints to what readers are looking for (because the vast majority of those views come from following links from other articles, not from direct reader searches). If you look at the WP:Clickstream data for the dab page, on the other hand, you'd see the actual proportions of desired articles for the readers who do land on the primary title. For the month of March, the link to the character was followed 146 times, the link to Woody (name): 112 times, Woody Allen: 35, Woody plant: 24, and Woodie: 27 (there's no data for links that got clicked fewer than 10 times). So, the fictional character is sought by about 32–43% of readers, which is well below the threshold for a primary topic. – Uanfala (talk) 15:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response I now see why we shouldn't move to the article to Woody. Now how do we close this discussion? Kaleeb18 (talk) 02:22, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * In principle, you can withdraw the nomination (you can just close the discussion as "withdrawn": see Simple RM closing instructions for the technicalities). However, this should normally be done only if there have been no editors supporting the proposal. There was one here though, so it's probably best to let someone else close it. RM discussions normally run for seven days before being closed, so there's just a day or two left. – Uanfala (talk) 12:39, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Gotcha Kaleeb18 (talk) 13:07, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Definitely no clear primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Umm what does this mean? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 14:40, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Last name "Pride".
Woody's last name is "Pride", right? So, why make "Woody Pride" a redirect to Woody (Toy Story)??!! FlapjackRulez (talk) 06:50, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
