The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus that Trick Daddy is not widely known by his birth name, and therefore that the baseball player is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Maurice Young". (closed by non-admin page mover) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:28, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maurice Young (baseball) → Maurice Young – Maurice Young is currently a redirect to the page of rapper Trick Daddy, whose real name is Maurice Young. Despite this, I don't see any reason why he should be the target of a primary redirect of this name. The page views and sourcing alone may prove that Trick Daddy is a lot more culturally significant than the baseball player, but given that the latter went professionally by the name Maurice Young, I believe that it would make sense to have his page bear the name with a hatnote for those who may be looking for Trick Daddy's page.

Support - someone's professional name takes a lot of precedence over a name that's basically the answer to a trivia question Red Slash 22:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The redirect gets virtually no hits anyway, so might as well be used for the only article that would use it as a title. Station1 (talk) 05:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
