Requested move 4 December 2019

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: move the musician's page to Donna Simpson (musician) and create a disambiguation page at the base title, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 16:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

– The article about the "internet celebrity" gets more than three times as many page views as the one about the musician that currently has the base name title, and also dominates web search results, and "(internet celebrity)" does not seem like a very good disambiguation term. The higher interest in the "internet celebrity" is not because of very recent events; the article about her doesn't mention anything new happening since eight years ago. Creating a dab page may also be worth considering, but this is a WP:TWODABS situation. A side benefit of moving the "internet celebrity" to the base name is that we would not need to think of a better disambiguation term for the article about her. I'm not sure whether "(musician)" is best for the other person – another possibility is Donna Simpson (The Waifs). —BarrelProof (talk) 02:32, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. No huge objection to turning this into a disambiguation page but the ARIA Award-winning, chart-topping singer is certainly not less notable than the internet celebrity and there is vastly more coverage of the singer in reliable sources. The internet celebrity also gets bugger all web search results on this side of the world. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose, concur with The Drover's Wife’s comments. I think Donna Simpson, the musician, is more notable than an individual who is only notable for being overweight. I would support this becoming a disambiguation page. Dan arndt (talk) 06:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Should be a disambiguation page. No clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support move to dab page per all above. --Gonnym (talk) 17:39, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Comment: I have no objection to moving only the musician's article and creating a dab page, as that seems to be the general preference of others. —BarrelProof (talk) 14:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
