The One (TV movie)[edit]
Saving this for anyone who creates an article on the movie:
- The One (TV movie), a made-for-TV movie that premiered in 2003 on ABC Family. The movie's main character, Michael Blake, played by Richard Ruccolo, falls in love with an engaged woman (Meredith Monroe) whose wedding he is catering. Meanwhile, he strikes up a friendship with her ice hockey player fiance (Gabriel Hogan). Michael is then forced to choose between keeping the friendship up, or pursing the woman of his dreams.
The One (Song by Metallica)[edit]
I believe it should be here.
Barack Hussein Obama[edit]
I put this statement here.
A derogatory nickname John McCain has used in advertisements to refer to Barack Obama.
User Mwtoews has reverted it twice. I also look at his posting record and notice he has removed previous mentions of Barack Obama from other users. First time he claimed "it could be anyone." I don't know what that's supposed to mean. "The One" has become a very common nickname among the American right wing for Barack and it is even been used in McCain ads. If you Google search "The one" that ad is the first result. That ad has over 1 million views. There is enough evidence to support that "The one" is used to identify Barack Obama. Lets look at other presidental nick names. "Bubba" has a entry for Bill Clinton on Wikipedia. "Ike" links to Eisenhower. Tricky Dick links to Nixon. So I see no reason why "The One" should not link to Barack Obama.
You say this is a disambiguous page, not a definition page in your second edit. I am not defining what the nickname means here and am simply redirecting to Barack Obama. And there is this entry for a religious belief "The one" that comes closer to a definition than my entry.
"Religious belief in the coming of the savior, i.e., Jesus Christ (Christians), The Messiah (Judaism), The Mahdi (Shīʿī Islam), Maitreya (Buddism)"
Why are you only deleting the Barack Entry, and not this entry? Please justify your removing of it, or I am adding it back on. Edward4321 (talk) 18:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- This entry (initially, at least) appears to me as simply US Election 2008 cruft that no-one will care about in a few years. The reference you provide to "The One" is a gimmick of the Republicans, and as such, is information on their campaign strategy (and should be included somewhere in another article), but doesn't need to be disambiguated here (i.e., nobody goes to this page to look up Barack since they can't remember his name, but only by this "nickname".) I don't even see a reference to his nickname as "The One" on the Wikipedia article (and if I did, then we should add it here as you suggested). I don't want to see a list of people here who claim that they are "The One" since it is more-or-less a statement of their ego. I'd rather keep that gate closed, otherwise this page will be a mess. The religious-based entries are in there since they are fundamental to large portions of the world's beliefs, and have stood the test of time as "The One". (BTW, I'm neither religious nor American). +mt 21:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
