This article fails Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Basketball. ---- moreno oso ( talk) 02:30, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
There are references about him and everything and he is a notable basketball recruit for Kentucky. He and his family have been in the news a lot lately over the accusations that his dad wanted money for him to commit to a school.

Anthony Davis –
User:Rracecarr has been insisting that this is an uncontroversial move, and that this article should be the primary topic. With two failed move requests here, I'd say it's not uncontroversial. My request that they do this via RM was not taken well, so rather than see this continue to fester, I thought it worth discussing.

polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's policy on article titles.The whole thing about the primary topic is that it's not about being the #1 Google hit - it's supposed to be about long-term significance and, the primary topic (if there is one) is supposed to be ahead by a couple points - it's supposed to be obvious, in a blow others out of the water kind of way. In this case, I'm not convinced that even in the short term. Guettarda ( talk) 05:41, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
G's argument that the basketball player is not the most notable has got to be disingenuous. You have to go through multiple pages of google results before you find anything else--this is not me trying to usurp Wikipedia for American sports fans--believe it or not, I'm not even a basketball fan. I looked up Anthony Davis after hearing him mentioned, and noticed that the title structure did not sync with the notability levels. He is not some no-name NBA player--he's currently ranked as the third best player in the league: [1] Rracecarr ( talk) 05:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Further, calling this move controversial because of failed moves in 2012 when Anthony Davis was in high school doesn't make much sense. It probably wasn't the right thing to do then. Now, he's the 3rd top rated player in the NBA, clearly the most searched for person by the name, and it is no longer controversial. Except in that G is making it so by offering up some silly arguments seemingly for the sake of just making things difficult. Rracecarr ( talk) 06:02, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
He is actually getting fewer page views now than he did in 2012. Pageviews 2012: 1,546,061; 2013: 594,477; 2014: 537,673. If his page move did not make sense in 2012, it does not make sense now.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:56, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
DaHuzyBru, I see that you have removed the "The 59 points was an NBA-wide season high" content from the article with this edit. Is this not an important fact?-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:15, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

It's been two years since the last RM, which was closed as not moved, with some of the !opposes arguing that this Anthony Davis hadn't yet established himself. I think it's safe to say from here on he's no longer a flash in the pan. Here's the page views as far back as they can go (about 5 months after the last RM closed) for every individual listed at Anthony Davis (the cricketer is excluded because the search is limited to 10 items and his page views are minuscule). This Anthony Davis has averaged 2,726 views a day in that span. Note that of the 3 next highest viewed pages, 2 of them aren't even titled "Anthony Davis." The next highest viewed "Anthony Davis" is Anthony Davis (offensive tackle, born 1989) with 139 views, and he recently retired from the NFL so he probably won't be getting any more significant press coverage in the future. The rest are barely worth considering. Lizard ( talk) 05:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

– There have been three previous requested moves between 2012 and March 2015 that have resulted in no movement. However, we are now three and a half years later and talking about a 5-time All-Star who has a better than
50% chance of making the Hall of Fame. The last time this was discussed, he only had 1 All-star selection2 All-star selections to his credit. I believe he is now the primary search term for this name. Here are pageviews:

Given how noteworthy the report of the trade is, wouldn't it make sense to include a link to Woj's story while emphasizing the deal has not been finalized (and keeping the team NOLA).
I don't understand why Wikipedia categorically refuses to report on player signings in any way, shape or form until an official announcement. I think there's a middle ground to be had here (which won't be had due to Wikipedia's bureaucracy). 2601:204:CF80:F75:F03E:925B:30A0:501A ( talk) 06:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Anthony Davis –
User:Rracecarr has been insisting that this is an uncontroversial move, and that this article should be the primary topic. With two failed move requests here, I'd say it's not uncontroversial. My request that they do this via RM was not taken well, so rather than see this continue to fester, I thought it worth discussing.

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.The whole thing about the primary topic is that it's not about being the #1 Google hit - it's supposed to be about long-term significance and, the primary topic (if there is one) is supposed to be ahead by a couple points - it's supposed to be obvious, in a blow others out of the water kind of way. In this case, I'm not convinced that even in the short term. Guettarda ( talk) 05:41, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
G's argument that the basketball player is not the most notable has got to be disingenuous. You have to go through multiple pages of google results before you find anything else--this is not me trying to usurp Wikipedia for American sports fans--believe it or not, I'm not even a basketball fan. I looked up Anthony Davis after hearing him mentioned, and noticed that the title structure did not sync with the notability levels. He is not some no-name NBA player--he's currently ranked as the third best player in the league: [1] Rracecarr ( talk) 05:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Further, calling this move controversial because of failed moves in 2012 when Anthony Davis was in high school doesn't make much sense. It probably wasn't the right thing to do then. Now, he's the 3rd top rated player in the NBA, clearly the most searched for person by the name, and it is no longer controversial. Except in that G is making it so by offering up some silly arguments seemingly for the sake of just making things difficult. Rracecarr ( talk) 06:02, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
He is actually getting fewer page views now than he did in 2012. Pageviews 2012: 1,546,061; 2013: 594,477; 2014: 537,673. If his page move did not make sense in 2012, it does not make sense now.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:56, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
DaHuzyBru, I see that you have removed the "The 59 points was an NBA-wide season high" content from the article with this edit. Is this not an important fact?-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:15, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

It's been two years since the last RM, which was closed as not moved, with some of the !opposes arguing that this Anthony Davis hadn't yet established himself. I think it's safe to say from here on he's no longer a flash in the pan. Here's the page views as far back as they can go (about 5 months after the last RM closed) for every individual listed at Anthony Davis (the cricketer is excluded because the search is limited to 10 items and his page views are minuscule). This Anthony Davis has averaged 2,726 views a day in that span. Note that of the 3 next highest viewed pages, 2 of them aren't even titled "Anthony Davis." The next highest viewed "Anthony Davis" is Anthony Davis (offensive tackle, born 1989) with 139 views, and he recently retired from the NFL so he probably won't be getting any more significant press coverage in the future. The rest are barely worth considering. Lizard ( talk) 05:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. ( page mover nac) Flooded with them hundreds 17:31, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
– There have been three previous requested moves between 2012 and March 2015 that have resulted in no movement. However, we are now three and a half years later and talking about a 5-time All-Star who has a better than
50% chance of making the Hall of Fame. The last time this was discussed, he only had 1 All-star selection2 All-star selections to his credit. I believe he is now the primary search term for this name. Here are pageviews:
Anthony Davis is now accounting for 939,017 of the 1,084,773 Anthony Davis pageviews and 939,017 of 1,089,405 if you count Tony Davises. TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:22, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Given how noteworthy the report of the trade is, wouldn't it make sense to include a link to Woj's story while emphasizing the deal has not been finalized (and keeping the team NOLA).
I don't understand why Wikipedia categorically refuses to report on player signings in any way, shape or form until an official announcement. I think there's a middle ground to be had here (which won't be had due to Wikipedia's bureaucracy). 2601:204:CF80:F75:F03E:925B:30A0:501A ( talk) 06:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

After being a major part of the LA Laker's team that won the 2020 NBA Championship, Anthony Davis became the only person in history to win NCAA, Olympic, FIBA, and NBA championships. In addition, by winning the 2020 NBA Championship, Davis became the eighth member of the highly-exclusive Triple Crown Club of Basketball (winning championships at the NCAA, Olympic, and NBA levels).
