Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was resolved. There seems to be a pretty solid consensus that the WP:BOLD redirect of Snowden should not stand. The point here is not to shut down discussion—simply that we should discuss from the status quo. An editor is free to bring up an RM of SnowdenSnowden (disambiguation), though this seems quite unlikely to succeed. --BDD (talk) 05:28, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Snowden (disambiguation)Snowden – An editor recently made it so Snowden redirects to Edward Snowden, without any consensus that I can see. This move should be undone, and this page placed back at Snowden with Snowden (disambiguation) redirecting there. Why? Because there's a lot of people surnamed Snowden, and also things named Snowden as well, who are independently notable from Edward. It seems unfair to point to just one person. I know that stuff like Mondale redirects to Walter Mondale, but that's a case where there are not any Mondales who are independently notable from Walter.

Immediate close suggested: No move is needed. The improper cut-and-paste move has been repaired by reverts already. Dicklyon (talk) 02:10, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the move request was: Closing, no consensus for the move seemed to be emerging from the discussion. Neither by head count (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk ·ctb) 22:42, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


SnowdenSnowden (disambiguation) – In 2013 there was a discussion about whether Snowden should redirect to Edward Snowden or Snowden (disambiguation). That discussion is above. In 2013 not enough time had passed to clarity if the biography on Snowden was the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

I am now asserting that "Edward Snowden" meets the criteria of a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and I propose to make Snowden redirect to "Edward Snowden", contrary to the 2013 discussion. Other uses of the term should be sorted in a disambiguation page. Here is supporting evidence that "Edward Snowden" is the primary topic for the term Snowden:

  1. The biography on Edward Snowden gets more Wikipedia page views than all the other terms put together. See for example that on average between May and August 2016, the biography got 16,000 views per day when other "Snowden" articles were getting many fewer, and perhaps only hundreds per day.
  2. More than 1000 Wikipedia articles link into Edward Snowden as shown at Special:WhatLinksHere/Edward_Snowden&limit=500. None of the other terms has 100 inbound links.
  3. None of the other terms have established long-term significance in popular discussion. Edward Snowden has been discussed in news and journalism daily since 2013.

But as a mononym the film gets more hits than Edward Snowden. If anything the film would be primary for the mononym. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:57, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't get more hits than Edward Snowden...--Cúchullain t/c 20:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snowden House

[edit]

I suggest adding a reference to Snowden House, found here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo,_Iowa#Snowden_House

Hopefully, a Wiki page could be created for this place. I would like to see how it relates to the Snowdens in America. Thanx - madman101 on LJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.110.98 (talk) 18:26, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok to add: Edward Joseph Snowden (born June 21, 1983) is an American former computer intelligence consultant

[edit]

Did a search on 'snowden' looking for Edward... surprised that he's not listed. Shouldn't he be?
proposed text:
"Edward Joseph Snowden (born June 21, 1983) is an American former computer intelligence consultant & whistleblower."

He's listed in the surname article, linked at the top of this page. -- Fyrael (talk) 18:59, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
