Requested move 11 July 2021 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: moved. There is clear consensus that this move and retargeting of the redirect should occur. I would gratefully accept advice regarding the best method to signpost the disambiguation page, whether {{seealso}} hatnote on Jean-Michel Basquiat or some another method.

BasquiatBasquiat (disambiguation) – Pretty clear here that Jean-Michel Basquiat is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; all of the other subjects are referring to him. The title should redirect to Jean-Michel Basquiat and the content should be moved to a disambiguation page. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 23:23, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Support Per nomination. Basquiat is one of those, like Van Gogh or Elvis or Putin, where there's really no ambiguity on who the name by itself is referring to in the overwhelming majority of contexts.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:44, 12 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The film gets 5,896 views compared to 105,607[[1]] for Jean so I'm not sure people searching for "Basquiat" alone are looking for Jean but as noted the other subjects are based on him. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:26, 12 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • To be honest, I'd consider a page getting ~94 percent of views as meeting our standards for primary in terms of usage even if the other subjects weren't all named after it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:07, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom. There is no real competition in terms of primary topic here. -- Calidum 19:44, 12 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
