Requested move 23 January 2017

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: not moved. A similar RM was closed at Talk:Trump as no consensus. Consensus here, though, is a bit more clearly against a move. More specifically, the current FLOTUS shares a first name with two saints, both of whom have long-term significance, which makes primary topic status for FLOTUS questionable.

MelaniaMelania (name) – Also convert this to a redirect pointing to Melania Trump. The given name is relatively uncommon in the English-speaking world, there is clearly a primary topic here. Consider that Barack is a redirect to Barack Obama, not a given name article or a dab. Also, pageviews for this page went up on the day of the RNC, when the news broke of the now-FLOTUS's plagiarized speech, once again after election day, and once again on inauguration day, there is no reason that readers are looking for anything other than the FLOTUS from these statistics. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Nohomersryan: please look at this. Is it not possible that with 128,833 daily views for Melania Trump, the 56 who choose to look at "Melania" are actually looking to find out where the name comes from? If anything I'd be surprised the numbers looking at the name are so small. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Compare this, Barack has gotten virtually no page views compared to Barack Obama, so why does Barack still redirect to Obama's article, there is no evidence that people are looking about the name, if they are, they are easily lead there. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:04, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Look back at news articles in 2008. People looking for "Barack" then when the name was new to people were evidently then looking for the origins of the name. Same as "Melania" today. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
