The Title of the article

The title should be changed to Inaccuracies and Controversies with The Kobe Bryant Memorial Statue Harlem,Hollywood,JACKSON MISSISSPPI (talk) 04:01, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 16 March 2024

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: Move the page to the statue name. Given that the redirect has been turned into a stub, it's contents were merged into the main article after the move, and an {{R with history}} is left.

– Wikipedia policy, outlined in WP:CRITS, is to "avoid sections and articles focusing on criticisms or controversies". I've edited the article to reflect this, moving all of the errors listed and other critique to a section titled "Reception". Wikishovel (talk) 05:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)— Relisting.

Relister's note: Three days after this RM opened, the redirect at Statue of Kobe Bryant was converted into a stub. I've added that stub to this move request, so the RM bot adds the notice banner there, too. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 18:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rotideypoc41352 Yikes! Sorry! I was not aware of Inaccuracies and Controversies on The Kobe Bryant Memorial Statue, but obviously the title of the Wikipedia entry should be Statue of Kobe Bryant. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I expanded this redirect I created back in 2021, and then updated Template:Public art in Los Angeles and linked to the new page at Crypto.com Arena, without seeing this "Inaccuracies and Controversies..." page. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:35, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And following your lead, I have fixed the wikilinks to this Inaccuracies article to point to Statue one instead. Now we need to determine the better location for the edit history for ease of review and of attribution. If we want the content of Inaccuracies, a WP:PAGESWAP probably should occur, so that the corresponding edit history reside under the proper page title. A merge without a page move works just as well.

One of my wikilink changes was reverted pending closure of this RM. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 00:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was on the {{Kobe Bryant}} navbox, where I'd added this page without knowing of the stub article. It seems that this is a fuller article, and a merge to this one, with the changed name, would centralize the information about the statue. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I originally created this article to talk about the Inaccuracies and Controversies on The Kobe Bryant Memorial Statue. I saw that a name change to, The Statue of Kobe Bryant was requested which I supported. I saw another article under the name, The Statue of Kobe Bryant created after mine. I believe my article is fuller than the one made after, so i think this article being renamed to "The Statue of Kobe Bryant" and the other being deleted or both articles being incorporated into one would be the best option. This Requested move will now extend into 10 days tomorrow on March 26, 2024 and I hope this issue can be resolved. If you have any suggestions I will be happy to hear them.

I understand where the confusion from the other article brewed from. Originally the article only ever mentioned Inaccuracies and Controversies on The Kobe Bryant Memorial Statue, not a centralized article on the entire statue. Someone probably made the other article not realizing others had edited this one to be a whole overview of the statue with the public reception only being a small chunk. The title also makes it confusing which is why I'm advocating for this to be the main Kobe Bryant Statue article as it has all the information and is fuller.

You can ask someone at Wikipedia:Closure requests to close this discussion, but they may decline, citing the exception at WP:RMCI#Relisting: When a new page move request is added to one that is already seven days old, the RMCD bot places the notification tag on the newly added page that day, and the discussion must go a full seven days (more) before being closed.

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Article Re-assessment

Over the course of a few days, this article has expanded a good amount. I believe the article is higher than a start class. Is the only way to get it re-assessed through Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment#Requesting an assessment?

Thanks! Harlem,Hollywood,JACKSON MISSISSPPI (talk) 16:43, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Harlem,Hollywood,JACKSON MISSISSPPI, I have upgraded the assessment from Start to C. Great work. Ktkvtsh (talk) 18:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
