A fact from George Cuppy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 April 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Nig Cuppy, having scored five runs against the Chicago Colts on August 9 1895, holds the record for most runs scored by a pitcher in a major league baseball game?

Rename proposal Nig Cuppy --> George Cuppy

Consistent with recent discussion at WT:BASEBALL, this is a proposal to rename biographical article Nig Cuppy to George Cuppy. Searching on newspapers.com finds that during Cuppy's time in professional baseball (1891 to 1901), especially with the Cleveland Spiders during 1892–1898, he was referred to as "George Cuppy" much more than "Nig Cuppy". Search examples, all done on newspapers.com:

"george cuppy" baseball for 1891–1901 gets 296 hits
"nig cuppy" baseball for 1891–1901 gets 60 hits
"george cuppy" pitcher for 1891–1901 gets 517 hits
"nig cuppy" pitcher for 1891–1901 gets 69 hits
"george cuppy" cleveland for 1892–1898 gets 339 hits
"nig cuppy" cleveland for 1892–1898 gets 45 hits

As George Cuppy is currently a redirect to Nig Cuppy, a swap of those pages via WP:RM/TR (if consensus is reached) would be required to complete the move. Comments welcome—please reply in the below section. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 02:50, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
