Requested move 3 June 2020[edit]

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved, no indication that the current primary topic is no longer the primary topic. "Too many topics" is not a indication of no primary, and the primary being titled something else is a reason for WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nicholas II (disambiguation) → Nicholas II – This is no primary topic. Interstellarity (talk) 13:18, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Uncontroversial. I'm not convinced that someone who types in "Nicholas II" will necessarily be looking for the tsar rather than the pope. Deb (talk) 13:24, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Every Google hit on the first page is for the tsar. See Nicholas II -wikipedia. The pope is not in the same league, according to this pageview analysis. Allan Rice (talk) 13:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the tsar is clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The Tsar is the overwhelmingly clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The nominator has offered no proof to back his claim the czar isn't the primary topic. Calidum 16:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The Tsar is the primary topic here. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:30, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Too many unconnected "Nicholas II"s. The highest hitting Nicholas II of Russia is already disambiguated, and the assumption that all readers know this Nicolas II is very European centric.

Also, this decision against the PRIMARYREDIRECT (not TOPIC) means the hatnote "Nicholas II" redirects here. For other uses, see Nicholas II (disambiguation). can be removed. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see all the people on the list are European! And the clear primary topic was the last emperor of an empire that spanned two continents and is known throughout the world for his deposition and murder. How on earth is this "European centric"? The only other contender for primary topic is a Pope who is certainly not one of the best known. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's funny. "and the assumption that all readers know this Nicolas II is very European centric" --> "and the assumption that all readers know this Nicolas II is ~~very European centric~~ logical". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. In my opinion Nicholas II of Russia is the primary topic for "Nicholas II". If not moved, the disambiguation page requires reformatting for a primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:55, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
