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: Moved. Consensus that the move is correct, and that this is the new primary topic. Dab page no longer needed per WP:TWODABS. — Amakuru (talk) 22:46, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment. Noting that the proposed title is a dab page and no one has made mention of primary topic or lack thereof. Jenks24 (talk) 03:11, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Re primary topic: A search for " yuliya stepanova "cross country" " gives me Yuliya Shamshurina's wiki page, the disambiguation page, Shamshurina's olympic.org stats (as Stepanova), hits for the current athlete and Shamshurina's sports-reference page (as Stepanova). A neutral search (or even a search including the word "skiing") yields a lot of news coverage for the subject of this article using the new name. This article is the larger of the two. The doping whistleblowing is covered more widely than a team silver in an individual sport. For these reasons I think this is the primary topic for "Yuliya Stepanova". 62.249.160.48 (talk) 22:13, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the proposed change. WP's naming policy states "Sometimes, the subject of an article will undergo a change of name. When this occurs, COMMONNAME still applies, but we give extra weight to sources written after the name change is announced. If the sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match. If, on the other hand, sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, per COMMONNAME." It seems clear that she is now more commonly referred to as Stepanova rather than Rusanova, and that she is much more newsworthy than the skier of the same name.
