Talk:Stallone (name)

On 31 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Stallone to Stallone (surname). The result of the discussion was moved.

Observation...

If "Schwarzenegger" redirect for Arnold Schwarzenegger, why "Stallone" don't redirect for Sylvester Stallone?

Because have other people named Schwarzenegger or Stallone, but the only really very well know with these surnames are Arnie and Sly, somewhere here knows?

That's a good question. As a supplement to your observations, Entertainment Weekly picked Stallone over Schwarzenegger in a career showdown (including 'extracurricular activities'). If I had to guess, maybe the general public generally refers to Stallone as "Sylvester Stallone", and to Schwarzenegger as simply that - "Schwarzenegger". --77.173.90.33 (talk) 18:36, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stallone → Stallone (surname) – This has bothered me in the back of my mind for years. Far and away, "Stallone" means Sylvester Stallone, and I don't see anything happening to upset that. Move this page and redirect to the primary topic. BD2412 T 02:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Very clear primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:28, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. This is a situation similar to Salmond (ho-hum). Tim O'Doherty (talk) 16:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. I originally wanted to be "weak oppose" since though I agree with the nominator's statement that the surname refers to the actor primarily in my mind, there seemed to be too many other options which thus could potentially refer. However, then I found what was going on with the redirect "Pacino" as a reference... Steel1943 (talk) 19:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
