Page Name

He has gone by Big E Langston for the longest out of all of his ring names, so the page name needs to be changed to Big E Langston. JobbersAreCool (talk) 22:45, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived 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: page already moved. Tyrol5 [Talk] 02:51, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ettore Ewen → Big E Langston – Despite his powerlifting or football career, I think his WWE career is far more popular, so the common name to go by should be his ring name "Big E Langston", the character that debuted and participated on WWE's internationally streamed television programmes Raw, SmackDown and NXT. Google News shows "Big E Langston" -> 1,140 results, "Ettore Ewen" -> 1 result. Starship.paint (talk) 08:38, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support because he's known more as Big E Langston. Keith Okamoto (talk) 09:03, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator. McPhail (talk) 17:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL facepalm. Page was successfully moved by Jacob Koopa. I guess I should have tried that before requesting. That didn't work for Reigns, but still... Starship.paint (talk) 09:05, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This talk page still needs to be moved by an admin BTW. Maybe I did try moving the page myself, but failed because the talk page couldn't be moved. Starship.paint (talk) 09:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Big E Langston

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Big E Langston's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

The Order of Things

First things first, I understand that the article is too detailed. So I have changed it and kept the new condensed version, but I have again rearranged the order. There is a reason for this and this is because the article should follow the chronological order of things, not the situational order. Now let me explain, chronological is basically he's on NXT, is NXT Champion and is appearing subsequently on the main roster. We should follow these things in the order they happen in. The situational order would be putting the history in depending on the situation, developmental history and main roster history. Wikipedia is not a book, it is an encyclopedia and this is a man's biography, it should be IN order. --Schmeater (talk) 01:18, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with this. McPhail (talk) 16:33, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NXT is a Developmental territory

NXT is FCW which is Developmental territory. There's no need to split the section up. The main rost has its own section. --98.87.13.166 (talk) 01:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

Now that WWE has dropped "Langston" from his name, shouldn't we move this page to his present ring name? The same goes for Antonio Cesaro and Alexander Rusev.

As we all know, WWE is a big deal, and the ring names used in it by the talents should be used here in wikipediaa.

Ring names used in the indies doesn't matter in this case, does it? 59.178.178.170 (talk) 09:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can't move it to Big E because that is a disambiguation page. I don't see the point of moving to Big E (wrestler) yet, because it's not going to allow for direct Wiki-linking anyway. Same for Cesaro and Rusev... all disambiguation pages. starship.paint "YES !" 13:22, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Big E Langston → Big E (wrestler) – He (and WWE) hasn't used "Langston" in two years, and has achieved notable mainstream coverage (like in Rolling Stone) without it as part of the New Day. At this point continuing to include it would be like continuing to have Triple H at Hunter Hearst Helmsley. oknazevad (talk) 17:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but there should also be changes with Adrian Neville (→ Neville (wrestler)), Alexander Rusev (→ Rusev (wrestler)), Antonio Cesaro (→ Cesaro (wrestler)), and Colin Cassady (→ Big Cass). I may be missing some other wrestlers. JC · Talk · Contributions 23:05, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It's a sidebar, but I agree with Rusev, Cesaro, and probably Neville. Cass may be a bit WP:TOOSOON, but I could go wither way on that one. Regardless, those discussions belong on those articles, not here. oknazevad (talk) 00:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support We've kept these wrestlers at their kayfabe full names for quite some time to avoid disambigulators but the names become more obscure by the day. Naomi (wrestler) and Cameron (wrestler) were recently moved from their obscure kayfabe surnames though. WP:COMMONNAME, WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:NATDAB apply here.LM2000 (talk) 05:12, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Per nom, he has had much success with the New Day as "Big E". Unlike Neville, Cass, Cesaro and the others, "Big E Langston" just may be obscure enough for Big E to be WP:COMMONNAME. Sekyaw (talk) 15:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per LM2000. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 00:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
