Requested move 26 October 2018

The following is a closed 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. Favonian (talk) 08:42, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keith Richard → Keith Richard (basketball) – Based on Google search results for "Keith Richard", that name is far more commonly associated with the Rolling Stones member Keith Richards, because the top search results for "Keith Richard" are about the Stones. Furthermore, "Keith Richard" "Rolling Stone" has over 100k results to around 24k for "Keith Richard" basketball.

This seems to be a case where a misnomer is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Keith Richard" as opposed to someone with the actual name. Thus, I propose redirecting Keith Richard to Keith Richards. Arbor to SJ (talk) 23:40, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Speaking as one who frequently has last name confusion based on the "s", I'd say no, this is just a different name. Dicklyon (talk) 04:30, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The logarithmic page views don't convince me people are arriving on Keith Richard in search of Keith Richards. A hatnote is good enough in this case. Nohomersryan (talk) 05:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The hatnote is enough. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:18, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The names are different. The musician shouldn’t lay claim to a misspelling when there is an actual person by that name. The hatnote works. Rikster2 (talk) 15:53, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose since they are different names and the guitarist doesnt have a monopoly on all possible variations of his name. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:11, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.
