Talk:Obama

Obama & JFK, FDR, etc.

I would like to request the renaming of the Barack Obama page to Barack H. Obama. This is line with the custom established by former Presidents of the USA, like: - John F. Kennedy - Lyndon B. Johnson - Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Besides, as the pages are protected from editing (even the discussion) I would like to write that BHO has the support of most Western World countries as stated in: http://www.rd.com/selecciones/content/openContent.do?contentId=104891 (in Spanish,although I have not found the corresponding page in Reader´s Digest, about "What if the world could Vote"--- with Found link at: [1]

If not possible tell me why:

"Wikipedia:Requested moves" is the correct place to request page moves. --DAJF (talk) 04:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please, can you do it for me?, I still do not understand how a page move can change an article´s name. MEXICO -- AGS -- --Dagofloreswi (talk) 06:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those are personal stylings not conventions. It wasn't until John Adams' son was elected that a distinction had to be made and that was with the full middle name. Polk was the first President to be known with the middle initial. 24.6.207.223 (talk) 08:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, because I don't think there is any reason to move the article, and you would be wasting your and everyone's time trying. There is already a redirect from Barack H. Obama, so I suggest you leave it at that. --DAJF (talk) 06:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This should be a disambi page

I came looking for the town in Japan. There is no way around this redirect except to know what you are after. By which time you already probably know what you are looking up. Since this is a protected page, I couldn't fix it myself. Point it to Obama, Fukui —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.207.223 (talk) 05:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a disambiguation link at the top of the page for people looking for other meanings of Barack or Obama. If you really think Obama should be a disambig page, you ought to first read the discussion on the subject from 2007 when Obama was still just a US senator. --DAJF (talk) 06:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that you can't get to the town. Making the -pedia less useful is counterproductive, don't you think? 24.6.207.223 (talk) 08:06, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second the motion by 24.6.207.223, Barack Obama isn't the only notable article on here about something named Obama. The page Obama should be a redirect to Obama (disambiguation). Iminrainbows (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
