Talk:Giacomo Benvenuti (composer)

Requested move 6 September 2024

Giacomo Benvenuti (composer) → Giacomo Benvenuti – A disambiguation page was recently created and this page was moved without discussion by ‎Ortizesp under an argument of WP:NOPRIMARY. However, I think there is a clear primary in this case. The composer and musicologist are the subject of numerous scholarly works in a google books, google scholar, etc. with many entries in various music encyclopedias/general encyclopedias published in Italy/ academic works across more than a century of time. For example, here is a rather lengthy encyclopedia entry in Italian that is viewable without subscription access: https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giacomo-benvenuti_(Dizionario-Biografico)/# The footballer is an obscure minor and recent sports figure. I think its clear based on the published literature that the composer is the WP:PRIMARY target. I further note that disambiguation policy is not to create a dab until there are a minimum of three entries. There is no need for a dab page, just a hat note.4meter4 (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Support – especially considering that the sources at the footballer's article don't even establish notability. It looks like the composer is subject to numerous articles solely devoted to him; I don't see any coverage close to that for the footballer. Aza24 (talk) 15:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose, I'm not convinced that the composer has enough page views or long-term significance to be PRIMARY. I'm fairly confident the total pageviews for the footballer in one day will be close to the total the composer gets in a month.--Ortizesp (talk) 17:03, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

@Ortizesp I'm not confident the footballer would survive an WP:AFD. I am planning on taking it there once this discussion is closed regardless of the outcome unless some sources with significant coverage are added to that article. Currently, the article does not meet WP:SIGCOV or WP:SPORTSBASIC. Probably created WP:TOOSOON.4meter4 (talk) 17:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I didn't create the page, but quickly glanced through refs and think there is enough for an article. I can probably spruce it up tomorrow. Ortizesp (talk) 17:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

If the footballer is not notable it may be better to send to AFD and put this on hold. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

@Crouch, Swale Unfortunately it didn't occur to me until Aza24 raised the issue, and I don't want to be accused of WP:FORUMSHOPPING. Best to let this play out. @Ortizesp I'd just like to point out that I find the accusation that the composer doesn't have longterm significance ridiculous. That's like saying someone with an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography lacks longterm significance. We generally have given precedence to UK articles in that reference work in PRIMARY discussions on UK people. The Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (see url above) is Italy's equivalent reference work for that country, and given that both are Italians I would think we should give precedence to major Italian language reference works when determining PRIMARY significance.4meter4 (talk) 17:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Agree to disagree. Long-term significance is important, and so is page views. If you aren't clearly overwhelming in both, I generally don't think there's a PRIMARYTOPIC. Ortizesp (talk) 18:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
