is it just me or does he resemble the mormon prophet joseph smith? o.O —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.42.166 (talk) 05:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

should the final bit say "as slimmer Nite Owl II" not "with slimmer Nite Owl II?"97.113.88.216 (talk) 10:24, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much to the editors who have cleaned up some recent erroneous statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beacon1 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I had to stop yesterday at risk of going 3RR, but asked for support at BLPN so there should be a few eyes on this now. Gonzonoir (talk) 08:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 December 2022[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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

– I believe that this article is the primary topic for this name, especially in comparison to the other articles in the disambiguation with the same name. Christiancardenas732 (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, actor isn't PRIMARY by long-term significance as per page view stats [here].--Ortizesp (talk) 04:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't have any real opinion on this RM, but these stats are pretty misleading. "Patrick Wilson (American actor)" should be included over "Patrick Wilson (actor)", because that was the longstanding title of this page until it was moved following the recent New Zealand actor's AFD (which was briefly closed as delete but didn't withstand a DRV). Nohomersryan (talk) 16:00, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Traffic at WikiNav indicates more than half the traffic goes to the actor, but the rest of the data is a bit confusing, as there's clearly people also going to the musician, but also from the musician to the disambiguation page. There's a hatnote there, presumably because of the composer, but it seems like a bit of a WP:NAMB issue? Not sure. Either way, since the actor is already sorted at the top, maybe there's no real need to short-circuit, navigation is pretty straightforward already. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Ortizesp though it may be worth revisiting some time. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:09, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Support per below. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:54, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Ortizesp and Crouch, Swale. There are 11 men listed upon the Patrick Wilson disambiguation page, with no indication that Patrick Wilson (American actor) has greater renown than the combined notability of the remaining 10 men, including Patrick Wilson (New Zealand actor), thus indicating the need to move Patrick Wilson (actor) → Patrick Wilson (American actor), per Nohomersryan and 2014's Talk:Patrick Wilson (American actor)#Requested move, above. Patrick Wilson (actor) should redirect to the Patrick Wilson disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:05, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per actual page view stats when taking the previous Patrick Wilson (American actor) into account. See here, even having dropped since the move to Patrick Wilson (actor), the (American actor) article still has a monthly average of 119.874 views, compared to (musician) at 10.075, (New Zealand actor) at 585, (footballer) at 51, (composter) at 36, and (librarian) at 32. Having existed only since September 2022, the current Patrick Wilson (actor) has a monthly average of 4909, climbing up to the third spot in only three months.
In total, in the set timeframe of one year, (American actor) + (actor) (both referring to the same person) have 1.438.489 + 58.903 = 14.497.392 views. The combined total of all the other pages is 120.902 + 3794 + 613 + 437 + 379 = 126.125 views, less than a hundredth of the pageviews. I think this clearly shows that this article is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In light of this new pageview analysis, I'll ping those who voted oppose based on the previous pageview stats: @Ortizesp, Crouch, Swale, and Roman Spinner —El Millo (talk) 16:26, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - it's hard comparing current figures to those from a long time ago, but it does appear that the page views aren't lying in this case, he likely is the most long-term significant as well as the highest viewed target.  — Amakuru (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I note that Patrick Wilson (New Zealand actor) still exists but is now not listed in the DAB. Naughty bot, doesn't clean up after itself. Andrewa (talk) 23:08, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
