The result of the move request was: not moved TonyBallioni ( talk) 04:28, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
Mike Thornton (politician) → Mike Thornton – Only subject called Mike, rather than Michael. Unreal7 ( talk) 17:49, 24 June 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 00:13, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary(emphasis mine). The fact that the politician is the only one who is more commonly called Mike than Michael ( WP:COMMONNAME) does not imply anything about whether people who search for Mike are more likely to be looking for him or for someone else. Michael E. gets 15x as many page views as (politician) overall [1]; to put it another way, if only 7% of the people looking for Michael E. use "Mike" to search for him, that would mean page views for "Mike" are equally divided between the two even though "Mike" wouldn't be WP:COMMONNAME for Michael E. under that scenario. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 01:34, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 03:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Mike Thornton (politician) → Mike Thornton – I did this before, but I genuinely believe the argument is enough. See Mike Posner as another example. Unreal7 ( talk) 20:18, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
