Sourcing[edit]

This article is currently terribly sourced, relying heavily on interviews with the subject. Better references include this. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 22:10, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 September 2016[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to David Kirke (bungee jumper) — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Kirke (DSC) → David Kirke (dangerous sports) – The current article title might be taken as implying that Mr Kirke has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, which is not the case. Tevildo (talk) 20:15, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moving would be better than leaving it where it is; merging to Dangerous Sports Club would be even better. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 10:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. The proposed title would be better than the current one, but that's the only thing I see in favor of it. I also think the suggested merge would be an improvement. The article can be split back out if there's ever anything to say about Mr. Kirke beyond this. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 02:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC) Added later: I support the title of David Kirke (bungee jumper) proposed below as superior to the originally proposed move. I still believe that this would be best handled by a merge, however. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 20:46, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that we just boldly merge the page as discussed at WP:MERGEINIT? Jonathan A Jones (talk) 09:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would also support a merge along those lines. Tevildo (talk) 16:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Use David Kirke (bungee jumper), per WP:DAB standard disambiguation procedure. "Dangerous sports" isn't a proper term of art, its a partial misappropriation of a proper name. If he were notable in multiple extreme sports we could use that, but he's not. Just use the one he's notable for. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 01:59, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
