Requested move 16 September 2016[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved Jack Thorne (writer) to Jack Thorne and moved the disambiguation page to Jack Thorne (disambiguation). The disambiguation page can be dealt with elsewhere if need-be. (non-admin closure). Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Thorne (writer) → Jack Thorne – This is the only Jack Thorne with a proper article, the other is one entry in a list of Jurassic Park characters. PatGallacher (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 23:19, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as nom's rationale gives no reason to treat this as primary over the character. Dicklyon (talk) 00:55, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination. The writer is supported by a full-length biographical article which confirms him as a major author. The fictional character, who exists solely as a redirect, can be mentioned in a hatnote atop the writer's entry. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 09:25, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Real people should always take precedence over fictional characters unless the latter are massively well-known (e.g. Harry Potter). A character in a single not especially well-known novel who doesn't even have his own article certainly doesn't count. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
