Requested move

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Oppose - prefer to move the main Aaron Cook title to be a disambiguation page, with both the Olympian and the baseball player having identifiers in their article names. They seem roughly equally notable to me at present. - fchd (talk) 16:27, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Aaron Cook (baseball pitcher) actually seems to be more notable than Aaron Cook (taekwondo athlete). Granted, Aaron Cook (taekwondo athlete) has a longer article, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's more notable. It just means more work has been done to his article. Also, if you simply type in Aaron Cook in various search engines, the baseball pitcher seems to dominate the search results, especially on the first page. I think Aaron Cook (baseball pitcher) should be moved back to Aaron Cook. Furthermore, I don't know if this is critical to mention, but the user that requested this move was recently indefinitely blocked, and the person behind that account may be the same person behind another blocked account. You can see the details at his talk page. -- Luke4545 (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Already there are 3 entries on the disambiguation page, and I see there is a 4th Aaron Cook, an American All-Star basketball player, among the incoming links to Aaron Cook. I agree with rchd that it would be better to move Aaron Cook (disambiguation) to Aaron Cook; then disambiguate the incoming links. --Una Smith (talk) 07:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I agree with fchd and Una Smith that there's no primary topic. Also, Luke4545, you have to be careful with the order of Google hits because Google's U.S. page (the one you're directed to if you connect from the U.S.) gives higher ratings to U.S. webpages. I suggest you try the same experiment from google.co.uk. Joeldl (talk) 16:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

THIS IS POOP. Sorry, but it is. It needs editing, badly, by someone far more knowledgable about the sport than me, and FAST! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calledsambyall (talk • contribs) 15:22, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
