[[WP:AGF]] is becoming difficult when you engage in misleading wordplay like this. Review the following sentence:
:''Charlotte says the only statement that is going to be made is her bowing down to her. Sasha might be the Boss, but she is the Queen.''

Is it a nod to her finishing move? Sure, but it's still referring to Charlotte as being the queen. Having your nickname incorporated into one of your moves is common enough. [[Edge (wrestler)]] has the "Edgecution" for example.

Your saying "shortly followed by" is misleading because while "to the" is short, "-ing down to her. Sasha might be the Boss but she is" isn't particularly short. Plus that's "Bowing" not "Bow".

Also considering this:
:The Boss bows to “the queen.”

Even if this is still a nod to Charlotte's move name, her move is not named "the queen", so Sasha is not bowing to Charlotte's finisher, she's bowing to Charlotte, aka "The Queen".

Where is "bow" in these four?

Orphaned references in Ashley Fliehr

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ashley Fliehr's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "OWOW":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ashley Fliehr → Charlotte (wrestler) – She hasn't really wrestled as "Ashley Fliehr" or "Ashley Flair" from what I remember. All her notability has been as "Charlotte." GeicoHen (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Risky, but Support --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • WHOOO! Makes sense. She's more famous for being Flair's daughter than anything, but "Charlotte" is probably more commonly associated with Flair than the name "Fliehr" is. More importantly, it's the name she's done semi-notable things under. High school volleyball and being someone's relative don't count for much. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:33, February 10, 2014 (UTC)
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Bayley (wrestler) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 11:15, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Charlotte Flair?

Given the existence of other article names such as Naomi Knight and the recently-renamed Christian Cage, which have added the wrestlers' less commonly used character surnames in order to remove the need for the less concise (wrestler) disambiguation marker, would it possibly be a good idea to move Charlotte's article to outright become Charlotte Flair? I understand it's not quite the same deal, as Charlotte Flair has never been her official ring name at any point; however, she is openly acknowledged as Ric Flair's daughter as an integral part of the Charlotte persona, we know "Flair" is "Fliehr" re-spelled, and Charlotte Flair has become a common unofficial name to refer to her as to the point that even NXT commentators have slipped up and called her this on occasion. For that matter, it might be a good idea to do the same for Natalya and change her to Natalya Neidhart (which exists as a redirect), who has the added bonus of having her last name actually be used as part of the Natalya character name when she was originally introduced to the WWE main roster as well as on WWE.com in an article sourced from 2014. Thoughts? 73.204.231.72 (talk) 16:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. You said it yourself: "Charlotte Flair has never been her official ring name at any point" -so she is no Christian Cage case - and neither part is her real name. That Ric Flair is clearly acknowledged as her father is beside the point as "The Rock" isn't filed under "Rock Johnson". Str1977 (talk) 15:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As stated, not her real name and her character does not use her father's last name. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 17:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2008 Arrest Details and Latimer Marriage Year

The text of the cited news story only mentions an "unidentified 22-year-old man", not Riki Johnson. Furthermore, was she actually married at this time (the entry says "then-husband")? If you search Fliehr at the Mecklenburg County Record Database (http://meckrod.manatron.com/Marriage/SearchEntry.aspx?e=newSession), it shows a marriage license between the two was dated May 2010; so (assuming that 2010 date is accurate) either (a) they were married somewhere else in 2008, divorced, then remarried in 2010, or (b) they weren't married in 2008.

Somewhat related, the Latimer marriage took place in 2013 (if that detail would help the entry) according to the Orange County Comptroller (again, search Fliehr at http://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/docSearch.jsp). Dalton Imperial (talk) 15:09, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Queen

@TheBellaTwins1445: re your removal at special:diff/735897565

Assuming you watched Raw last night you must remember hearing Charlotte being called this. It is definitely a reliable change to introduce this nickname to her article.

I did not introduce any new sources. I cited ones we have already accepted. Please add back the information you removed from the page.

I realize the Bellas are sore about Charlotte ending Nikki's reign but that is no reason to go and remove her nicknames. Ranze (talk) 03:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no source to reference so the removal was valid. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" (talk) 03:52, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I aliased 3 sources already present on the page for it. I can find some new ones if you like. Ranze (talk) 04:48, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ranze: knock it off dude. You've been through this process before. Stop adding unsourced, nonnotable nicknames for wrestlers. CrashUnderride 04:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The nickname had 3 sources next to it, if you actually check the diff. It established notability going back for some time. One of Charlotte's moves is actually named after this nickname, it's clearly notable. Ranze (talk) 04:48, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You put three sources next to it but none of them said that was her nickname.LM2000 (talk) 05:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LM2000: I will reproduce the 3 sources I originally expanded, here for you to read, along with explanations.

  1. "Views from the Hawke's Nest: NXT Takeover". 411MANIA. 8 June 2014. Charlotte hit the Bow Down to the Queen
    This names one of her moves, BDttQ, clearly Charlotte is "the Queen" being bowed down to, in the move. It is a reinforcement of her nickname every time the announcers call the move. If this existed in isolation and Charlotte were some kind of monarchist then I could understand hesitation, but this links into the other sources...
  2. Trionfo, Richard (November 30, 2015). "WWE RAW REPORT: A NEW GROUP IS FORMED, IS THE QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE SHOWING HER TRUE STRIPES?, ARE THE NEW DAY TURNING INTO J&J SECURITY FOR SHEAMUS?, A FEW RETURNS, AND MORE". PWInsider. Retrieved November 30, 2015.
    The portion of the title "IS THE QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE SHOWING HER TRUE STRIPES?" refers to Charlotte feigning an injury then pinning Becky Lynch after her father distracted her. Who else do you think 'queen of the jungle' refers to here?
  3. Trionfo, Richard (June 23, 2016). "WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: SETH ROLLINS MAKES AN OPEN CHALLENGE, THE BOSS OR THE QUEEN?, THE WYATTS MAKE A STATEMENT, AND MORE". Pro Wrestling Insider. Retrieved July 17, 2016.
    The title portion "THE BOSS OR THE QUEEN?" refers to the match between Sasha Banks (do you accept her nickname is "The Boss") and Charlotte. The article even includes this sentence if you bothered to read it: "Charlotte says the only statement that is going to be made is her bowing down to her. Sasha might be the Boss, but she is the Queen." I added this quote to the article's present citation of it.

Here too I will reproduce the 5 sources from WWE.com that you just removed in special:diff/735951179. I'm wondering if you even checked them before deleting them and demanding consensus, even though nobody had actually objected to them yet.

  1. Medalis, Kara A. (13 August 2014). "NXT Women's Champion Charlotte vs. Bayley". Will Charlotte sustain her rule over the NXT Divas division and make Bayley "Bow Down to the Queen" at NXT TakeOver?
    As above, this is simply supporting the move, clearly "the Queen" in the move's name is Charlotte.
  2. Taylor, Scott (26 May 2015). "'The Four Horsewomen' of NXT: Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch on how they're changing women's wrestling". CHARLOTTE: Honestly, people ask all the time if we feel pressure to deliver, or do we feel pressure from people putting us in these positions. But I don't think any of us feel the pressure, just because we're able to lean on each other. I don't know how to explain it; you all know what I mean? Watch: .. The Queen vs. The Boss
    WWE here is supporting the phrase "The Queen vs. The Boss" for a Sasha/Charlotte match, nuff said.
  3. "Come at the Queen". 15 February 2016. Brie's Divas Championship Match with Charlotte at WWE Fastlane has taken on new meaning .. Charlotte was free to build momentum with a second victory over Alicia Fox
    "the Queen" in the title is referring to Charlotte, challengers like Alicia Fox are coming at her
  4. "Sasha and Charlotte are on the move in the WWE Power Rankings". 16 July 2016.
    The evidence here is actually in the URL.
  5. Wortman, James (21 August 2016). "Charlotte def. WWE Women's Champion Sasha Banks". The Boss bows to "the queen."
    The recent article on the summer slam win should really be the final nail in the coffin, you do understand who "the queen" is here, right?

What objections do you have to these five? I've presented overwhelming evidence here. Ranze (talk) 05:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The references refer to the move. Do you think Bayley should be called "The Stunner" because a 411Mania headline once said: "Bayley Hits The Stunner"?LM2000 (talk) 05:53, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ranze, just stop. You behavior and repeated additions of non-notable nicknames, disruptive editing and attempts to use sources that don't say anything about what your using them to source, will eventually get you blocked. CrashUnderride 06:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@LM2000: knowing Ranze, they will want to start listing "The Stunner" as a nickname for Bayley. lol. CrashUnderride 06:37, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ranze: Like I said before its unsourced. I have looked at every link you posted, ive read them carefully top to bottom, none of them refer to Queen being her nickname, just a move, which is the issue here. If you present something that says her nickname is now The Queen then im sure there will be no issue, until then it's a justified removal. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" (talk) 06:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear to me that the people objecting have not checked all of the sources. Perhaps you looked at one of the weaker ones and stopped there, not checking further.

@LM2000: only some of the sources do as you say. Ignore them if you'd like and focus on the ones which are clearly referring to Charlotte as "The Queen". For example here are two I'd like you to take a second look at:

This is not a new nickname though, it is using one that she's had for at least a year, as its incorporated into her move name. Ranze (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Crash Underride: when you are done telling jokes, feel free to look at sources like the one above. My adding proof is not disruptive. This nickname is notable. These sources all support "The Queen" connected with Charlotte, some more clearly than others. Please stop engaging in false accusations. Ranze (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WarMachineWildThing: "its unsourced" is incorrect, I just listed sources for you, and I included sources each time I added it. Chris/WMWT you clearly missed something. Are you expecting the word "nickname" to be used? Look at the two sources I re-posted for LM2000 again please. Ranze (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her finishing move is literally called "Bow to the Queen" and those sources all have to word "bow" shortly followed by the word "queen".LM2000 (talk) 10:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF is becoming difficult when you engage in misleading wordplay like this. Review the following sentence:

Charlotte says the only statement that is going to be made is her bowing down to her. Sasha might be the Boss, but she is the Queen.

Is it a nod to her finishing move? Sure, but it's still referring to Charlotte as being the queen. Having your nickname incorporated into one of your moves is common enough. Edge (wrestler) has the "Edgecution" for example.

Your saying "shortly followed by" is misleading because while "to the" is short, "-ing down to her. Sasha might be the Boss but she is" isn't particularly short. Plus that's "Bowing" not "Bow".

Also considering this:

The Boss bows to “the queen.”

Even if this is still a nod to Charlotte's move name, her move is not named "the queen", so Sasha is not bowing to Charlotte's finisher, she's bowing to Charlotte, aka "The Queen".
