Requested move 12 August 2019[edit]

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved, and move Dilson (name) to Dilson. Given this article has been created less than a month, significant policy based rationale and evidence (such as page views) is required to make such a move, even if the target page does not exist. Those that opposed the move have done so citing the article does not meet the primary topic criteria enough to warrant occupation of the unambiguated title. Page view statistics since this article was created support this view, with Dilson Herrera outranking this page by 15 to 1. Those supporting the move have not given sufficient argument to overcome the opposition or these policies. As with all things, if in future these statistics change significantly, a move can be re-requested.

Dilson (footballer) → Dilson – unnecessary disambiguation Joeykai (talk) 02:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support although there is also Dilson Funaro, Dilson Herrera, Dilson Torres and John Dilson it looks like this is the only one commonly known as just "Dilson". Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:02, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Target page is unoccupied so this seems suitably uncontroversial, the other articles are all partial title matches. PC78 (talk) 09:01, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 12:52, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - not the PRIMARYTOPIC, the 'Dilson' page should be turned into a disambig. Giant Snowman 12:56, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose move Dilson (name) over the redlink In ictu oculi (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- That article doesn't exist. PC78 (talk) 16:22, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I meant Dilson (disambiguation) as per Giant Snowman. This Dilson is a non entity stub. Cannot find any trace of him beyond football listing htmls, wheras Dilson Herrera is all over the newspapers. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
