The result of the move request was: moved per request. Favonian ( talk) 10:24, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Steve Bullock (Montana) → Steve Bullock (Montana politician) – He is not a Montana, but a politician. Standard procedure is to disambiguate using the occupation for which the individual is known. Since there is already a Steve Bullock (British politician) and a Stephen Bullock, who was a Massachusetts politician, further disambiguation is necessary. I have already moved this article, but it was reverted with the somewhat impolite comment by user:Montanabw that "if you want to make a drama out of this, take it to a drama board". Not sure if WP:RM counts as a drama board, but I'm doing as he wishes! -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:25, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
IMHO, plenty of reason that an IAR approach is fine here. Montanabw (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Just found another Steve Bullock who is a political figure, this one in Australia, a member of the Green party: http://www.abc.net.au/elections/vic/2010/guide/fern.htm Montanabw (talk) 19:07, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Edit warring and an empty talk page, at least of recent material. Full protected for 12 hours, which is about as low impact as you can get. Use the time to talk about it if you don't mind.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 21:58, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No move. There is no consensus that the Montana governor is the primary topic of the name. The disambiguation page will be moved back to the base name. Cúchullain t/ c 20:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
The governor of Montana is significantly more notable than a mayor, who is the only other person named Steve Bullock notable enough to be on the encyclopedia. (There are two other fellows who spell their names differently, but neither is particularly relevant). Google News results were almost entirely about the governor. Note that Steve Bullock has redirected here for almost a year. Relisted. Favonian ( talk) 17:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC). Red Slash 23:42, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
This is the only US Governor page I've read without an affiliation. Is he still Catholic? Is he Congregationalist now? Warmest Regards, :)— thecurran Speak your mind my past 09:47, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
@
Smith0124: Where in the NYT article does it claim that "Schumer convinced Bullock to run" or that "Schumer and Obama believed he was the only formidable candidate"? I'm behind a paywall, but the
archived version only says:
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, flew to visit him in Montana last month. And when Mr. Bullock was in Washington last month for the meeting of the National Governors Association, he also met with former President Barack Obama, as was reported by Politico.
We can speculate that Schumer's trip was about convincing Bullock to run, but the source doesn't support that. And the only thing it says about Obama is that he merely met with Bullock, not that he thinks Bullock is the only formidable candidate who could run.

The move came after Bullock met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former president Barack Obama.) reflects what has been reported on by reliable sources. Readers can draw their own conclusions about what Obama and Schumer might have discussed with Bullock, but it's not our place to speculate about it. Surachit ( talk) 00:34, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
I removed a number of changes by a recently created SPA. I removed changes that were poorly sourced, poorly worded, editorialized and WP:SYNTH, and kept the content that wasn't. If the SPA wants to add the content, they need to seek consensus for it here. Snooganssnoogans ( talk) 02:26, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
I think we should change the image to this. It’s clearer, he’s actually looking at the camera, it’s a looser crop, and it feels like a more formal portrait. Thoughts? The Image Editor ( talk) 16:17, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
