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. - Never close this early but as noted below there's others that go by the name "Alex Fletcher" and so making her in some respects the PRIMARYTOPIC here is just silly!, I planned on opposing but figured I may aswell wrap this up early and save everyone elses time being wasted!. –Davey2010^Talk 05:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Fletcher (actress) → Alex Fletcher – Everyone else is called Alexander. Unreal7 (talk) 23:53, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose sorry, but User:Unreal7 how many times have you been asked to search Google Books before making RM proposals? Why don't you do this and 2/3 of your RMs could be avoided. see "Alex Fletcher is" : The overwhelming topic in books is Alexander Fletcher (British politician).

- And User:In ictu oculi, how many times have you been told that your opposition reasons are absolute nonsense? There are only 54 results in there and none of them seem to be the slightest bit relevant here. Unreal7 (talk) 09:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you have expressed in multiple RMs that Google Book searches are "nonsense" as you put it, but look at the the RM template:

{{subst:Requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please present Google Books or Google News Archive results before providing other web results. Do not sign this.}}

The template includes "ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines", and "providing evidence in support where appropriate". It also says "If your reasoning includes search engine results, please present Google Books or Google News Archive results before providing other web results." If you don't agree with this you also don't agree with titling policies. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:03, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The dab page identifies at least two other topics that are explicitly known as "Alex Fletcher", and this actress doesn't seem so exceptionally notable as to dominate over the others. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose per IIO and BP, Wikipedia is not Entertainment Weekly, we do cover topics other than entertainment, so we should not treat entertainment as the primary meaning for all terms. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:30, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
