Requested move 03 August 2015

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Jenks24 (talk) 18:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toru Takahashi (Racer) → Toru Takahashi – There are no other articles for this name (until other articles are created, there is no need for disambiguation). Only 2 of the 7 incoming links to Toru Takahashi were not for the racing driver. – Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 23:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The editor who did the contested move, User:Kopiersperre, links to a DAB page on the Japanese Wikipedia which contains other people with that name. Normally that's not a valid argument in a move discussion on English Wikipedia but opening this request will allow him to offer more evidence, if available. EdJohnston (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment at any rate, this page is misnamed. The disambiguator is not of the proper form; the regular disambiguator is "(racing driver)", so Toru Takahashi (racing driver) is at the very least required, if this doesn't return to the base location -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:30, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- NOTE Kopiersperre (talk · contribs) who moved this article to "(Racer)" has subsequently moved this page to "(racing driver)" -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ per nom. No need for a qualifier. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:06, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Now there is no primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:33, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (leaning towards oppose) the second person listed at the Japanese disambiguation page is a baseball pitcher who made two appearances for the Hawks. This makes him notable for the purposes of an article, which I will create tomorrow. So the facts need to be reconsidered before any move is made, because we now have a minor player in Japan's top professional league. Based on the description of the racing driver's career, I think it would be hard to say he is the "primary" topic. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 08:18, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have now created the article - Toru Takahashi (baseball player). I don't think either person is sufficently well-known to be the primary topic, so I would oppose any move. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:51, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
