Requested move 2

The following discussion is an archived 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: not moved. (non-admin closure) Calidum ^{Talk To Me} 21:16, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amir Khan (British boxer) → Amir Khan (boxer) – Current title is ambiguous as Khan is both British AND Pakistani. We could move Amir Khan (Pakistani boxer) to Amir Khan (amateur boxer), but I say this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Amir Khan (boxer). Laun chba ller 15:45, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose He was born and raised in England, I don't think ethnicity is important. To avoid confusion for those that it is important I would have no issues with the move but then the big problem is what to do with Amir Khan (Pakistani boxer) - what happens if he becomes professional. In my opinion the latter is not notable and I have submitted it to AfD - if deleted the move would be a non-issue.Peter Rehse (talk) 22:28, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not long since it was moved in the opposite direction, see here and the history at 14:03, 26 January 2014. Mr Stephen (talk) 22:49, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - see 14:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC) RM in Archive. Oppose for reasons of User:PRehse, but also because of incorrect RM proposal. There is no PRIMARYTOPIC, Amir Khan is a dab, and no such thing as WP:PRIMARYBOXER. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:50, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose disambiguators should not be ambiguous, the suggested title is ambiguous, there being another boxer. Further, amateur boxers are still boxers. Per your own suggestion, why didn't you propose Amir Khan (professional boxer) ? -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:55, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I put that there as an alternative suggestion - I fully stand by moving this article to Amir Khan (boxer) on the grounds that this boxer is a far more likely search term to the other, and PRehse has AfDd the other article.--Laun chba ller 09:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How about we postpone this until the AfD is over? -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I could technically withdraw this requested move because there are no support votes. Okay, I'll provisionally withdraw this.--Laun chba ller 10:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a primary topic for Stand by Me (song) with 10x the page views of Stand by Me (Oasis song) (or 7.5x the page views of all other songs called "Stand by Me" with articles including that one), there can be a primary topic for Amir Khan (boxer) as this page has 13x the page views of Amir Khan (Pakistani boxer). Peter James (talk) 17:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3

The following discussion is an archived 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: page moved. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 05:19, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amir Khan (British boxer) → Amir Khan (boxer) – I withdrew the other one until the AfD for Amir Khan (Pakistani boxer) was over; now that it has been deleted, the disambiguation of 'British' is unnecessary. Laun chba ller 08:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the move goes ahead please make sure the links to the article are meant to go to the new article. My attempts to delink the deleted Amir Khan have met with some resistance.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:12, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed title has no links to it from articles. Peter James (talk) 18:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was changed to Aamir.Peter Rehse (talk) 20:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support as the other article has been deleted. Peter James (talk) 18:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how this is separate from the previous requested move because this is essentially a reopening of it.--Laun chba ller 19:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "Requested move 2" section has the template with the result and "No further edits should be made to this section" notice, so unless the closure is undone a new section is needed for a new request; there's also the fact that most of the issues raised in RM2 no longer apply. Peter James (talk) 19:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support since there is no longer an article about the other boxer the issue that caused the name change no longer apply.--69.157.253.74 (talk) 02:18, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 August 2015

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Amir Khan (boxer). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
