Requested move 28 March 2015[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:

James "Quick" Parker not moved
James "Quick" Murphy moved to James Murphy (gridiron football) as requested.

The latter did play for the Kansas City chiefs, so he's not just a Canadian football player. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 08:23, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose dropping "Quick" from Parker - "Quick" is included in sources mentioning Parker: StarPhoenix, SportsNet, Handbook, another book. --George Ho (talk) 08:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But (reluctantly) move other to "James Murphy (Canadian football)" - Murphy is mentioned in following sources: book #1, book #2, Winnipeg Free Press, Boxscore, Associated Press via U-T San Diego, Cache Valley Daily. Neither uses "Quick". --George Ho (talk) 08:08, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Parker as per refs provided by George Ho and per Web results

"James Quick Parker" AND ("Edmonton Eskimos" OR "BC Lions" OR "Toronto Argonauts") get "About 68,600 results"

"James Parker" AND ("Edmonton Eskimos" OR "BC Lions" OR "Toronto Argonauts") gets "About 1,540 results"

News gives results moderately in the other direction but I find the argument from common, common (lol) use overwhelming.

George, I happy to provide a flood of hopefully helpful information on any subject. Greg Kaye 13:55, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
