Joyce identifies as being Usary?!? edit

Under Personal Life it states "Joyce identifies as being Usary" with Usary linking to the Heartless page. Is this vandalism that's snuck through? As it stands the sentence makes no sense at all! 2001:44B8:2104:4600:A116:DFAA:6FFB:C908 (talk) 07:53, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Capitalism rape"? edit

Joyce might not be flavour of the month but the last clause in "2016-2017 Company Restructuring" para is perhaps overly emotive, and the referenced source [20] hardly strikes me as a reputable well-recognised source - more like a partisan vent of spleen. 14.2.91.191 (talk) 23:32, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

– the CEO is more well known than the former footy player. Move Alan Joyce to Alan Joyce (footballer) and then move Alan Joyce (businessman) to Alan Joyce. 46.44.180.253 (talk) 08:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Killarnee (talk) 02:12, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. It's debatable whether or not one is more notable than the other - I guess it depends on what circles you move in. Both are retired. Also, you've neglected to put a WP:RM move template on the Alan Joyce article. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Note: I have now fixed the RM to include both moves in the template (which will add the banner to the other article). SilverLocust 💬 23:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    What about the pageviews? Also I can find much more on Google about the businessperson instead of the footballer.
    “I guess it depends on what circles you move in.” and “you've neglected to put a WP:RM move template on the Alan Joyce article” are not valid arguments based on guidelines. Killarnee (talk) 02:09, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Partial support/oppose per WP:10YT. I would support moving "Alan Joyce" to "Alan Joyce (footballer)" and then making "Alan Joyce" a disambiguation page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose first, support second, make DAB at basename. No PRIMARY.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Support the businessman has 2,007 views compared with only 235[[1]] for the footballer so if there is a primary topic by usage it is the businessman but a DAB may be the best choice. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:44, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose 1st, Support 2nd and create dabpage at basename. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
