FDR (disambiguation) → FDR – I'd like to see if there would be consensus in the community for moving this disambiguation page to the base name FDR, which at the moment is just a redirect to Franklin D. Roosevelt. I feel that there are other uses that are no less important than Roosevelt's initials. Whereas Roosevelt was no doubt a very important American president from a hundred years ago, False discovery rate (FDR) is a key concept in modern science. And FDR is also an acronym for several other important things - just go through the list in the disambiguation page and you'll see. This is why I believe the disambiguation page should be at FDR. I was wondering what you guys think and if there'd be consensus to make this move. Thanks, Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose various historians refer to Roosevelt more than anything else by this initialism. Searches on Google and Google Books are full of results on him. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:07, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. Definitely many results about Mr. Roosevelt. But a quick search on Web of Science gives 38,269 papers about false discovery rate. And these are scientific, peer-reviewed papers, published in scientific journals. Dr. Vogel (talk) 21:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per False Discovery Rate. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:58, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The Franklin D. Roosevelt article is viewed about 11,000 times per day, about 25 times as much as False discovery rate. That's too lopsided. It is clear that Wikipedia readers are much more interested in Roosevelt, and he also had high historical importance. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:24, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
