Requested move March 2012[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Havana Brown (DJ) → DJ Havana Brown – As she is not the primary topic of "Havana Brown", disambiguation must be used. Per WP:NCDAB more natural disambiguation is considered preferable to using brackets/parentheses. And as she is regularly referred to as "DJ Havana Brown" (61 hits on gnews), I would argue that it is a natural form of disambiguation and therefore preferable to the current title. Jenks24 (talk) 15:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC) *Support: I'll support this since she is known more as DJ Havana Brown. And her website even says so too. Oz ^talk 20:42, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose She's a recording artist now so she will often be referred to as Havana Brown. Oz ^talk 20:40, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support natural disambiguation. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 05:11, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - see WP:Title and WP:COMMONNAME. It needs to be per press (print media) sources, not ads, not listings, but articles: Everything Aussie DJ-turned-singer Havana Brown touches turns golden‎ The Daily Telegraph - 3 Mar 2012 "Almost a year after the Aussie DJ-turned-singer smashed on to the charts with her debut single, We Run The Night, the track has topped America's Billboard ...".. is DJ Havana Brown part of the name in this source? No. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So every single source about the subject needs to use that name or it's not the common name? That's ridiculous. Jenks24 (talk) 20:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - No. The point is that that's the Daily Telegraph, not a fanzine, blog or flyer or album artwork. Also, sorry to say this but your 61 hits aren't all hits. When the West Australian says on Nov 6, 2009 "Australian DJ Havana Brown, who was one of the support acts for Britney Spears' recent tour of Europe, said .."that isn't a hit for "Australian DJHavana Brown" (unless there's a French DJHavanaBrown out there too?) it's a hit for "Australian DJ (gap) Havana Brown" :) Just saying, that's all. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:41, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per In ictu oculi, DJ is a job descriptor/title like an MD or medical doctor. If she were a practitioner then we'd have Havanah Brown (medical doctor) not MD Havana Brown.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 20:24, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Havana Brown (DJ) → Havana Brown (entertainer) – She is not just a DJ but also a recording artist. Oz ^talk 09:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest Havana Brown (musician). It looks like she is well into a career transition from DJ. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mostly Support – I can see the reason for your move. I 90% support it. 68.44.51.49 (talk) 16:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Havana Brown (musician). Seems more logical to move to that name rather than the original option of Havana Brown (entertainer). Wesley Mouse 12:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
