Shawn King (football)Shawn KingShawn King redirects to DeVotchKa, but Shawn King (football) is notable enough for an article so is probably the primary topic. snigbrook (talk) 22:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Strong support Oppose — I'm probably missing something, but a cursory glance through the DeVotchKa article does not even support including a hatnote in this article. I have no idea where the creation of a Shawn KingDeVotchKa redirect came from, but there is policy against easter eggs linking. This could actually be an uncontroversial move, on those grounds.

    • Because he is a member of the band. As such, he is likely notable so that an article will be written at some point in time. Shawn King also happens to be a notable singer and the wife of Larry King. Smells like a dab page may be the correct decision. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:28, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
      • ah... now that you point that out, it's as plain as day. Anyway, yea, a dab & hatnotes would certainly help. I think that this article should be the primary topic though, but I don't have particularly strong feelings on the issue.

        • I'm not convinced that this is the primary use, Larry's wife does rather well with the google check. The problem is that once you make a move like this, it may be difficult to get the dab page in the correct location. I think that it is always better to have the dab page in the right place from day one. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
      • I'll also add, that there is also an actor with this name. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
        • humm... I'm sure that's true, but there currently are not articles for these other people to disambiguate from. I understand what you're saying about getting it right the first time, which is a line of thinking that I tend agree with, but I also feel that we shouldn't anticipate possible issues to that degree. The primary reason for my stance on this is due to the fact that it can be so subjective. However, if we do go with the "we need to actively disambiguate this", then I don't have any issue with making Shawn King the dab page. I just think that there's currently no need for disambiguation, so it would be appropriate to move Shawn King (football)Shawn King, and then add a hatnote (or possibly two?) to the top of the article.

  • Endorse current situation - we now have a dab page instead of an easter-egg link, which leaves no obvious primary topic. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 00:47, 23 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
