Emmerdale character articles; invitation to discussion

I've begun a discussion regarding the atrocious state of character articles within the Emmerdale universe. These articles stand to be deleted unless corrective action is taken. Please join the conversation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Emmerdale#Serious problems across the board; let's start with character articles. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 16:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moira Barton → Moira Dingle – This is an Emmerdale characters who has been credited as Dingle longer that Barton so Dingle is the character’s common name. – Blanchey (talk) 15:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Just because she has been credited as Dingle for longer, doesn't necessarily mean that it's her WP:COMMONNAME. There are much more Google hits for "Moira Barton" than "Moria Dingle" (and for "Moira Barton Emmerdale"). The news hits for "Barton" also outdo "Dingle". There are also quite a few sources still calling her Barton, such as [14] and [15]. Barton was the name she was introduced with and had some fairly notable storylines under. Writers also introduced other family members to boost that connection. But she's also had some pretty memorable storylines as a Dingle. To be honest, I think both names are pretty recognisable, which makes it trickier. - JuneGloom07 Talk 02:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, so what do we do now? Blanchey (talk) 10:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Still best-known as Moira Barton. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:58, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moira Barton → Moira Dingle – This deserves a review. Three years after the last move request was closed, the Google search results now show "Moira Dingle Emmerdale" as having more than 130,000, while "Moira Barton Emmerdale" has 92,000. News results are also overwhelmingly in favour of Dingle. The character has been credited as Moira Dingle for more than ten years, there is no hint of the character ever reverting back, and in the show Cain and Moira are very much leading the Dingle family now in the wake of Zak's death. It's time to move the article to reflect this. Ooh, Fruity (talk) 00:12, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
