Merge[edit]

Big Mouth and Big Mouth (chief) appear to be duplicates. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:08, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Redirecting Big Mouth (chief) to Big Mouth seems like a good idea. -Uyvsdi (talk) 21:05, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi Hi. I agree that the two articles should be merged. However, there is conflicting information. The article Big Mouth asserts that Chief Big Mouth was a Brulé Lakota and the sixth son of Old Chief Smoke. I believe this is incorrect. Rather, as per the article Big Mouth (chief), Big Mouth was the first son of Old Chief Smoke and an Oglala Lakota. Richlevine00 (talk) 02:08, 31 July 2013 (UTC) I don't know editorial protocol, but if you like, I can merge the two into a single article of your preferred title Big Mouth or Big Mouth (chief). Then you can delete the other. Peace.Richlevine00 (talk) 13:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this got dropped. I finished the merge. Montanabw ^(talk) 03:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 November 2019[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.

The result of the move request was: pages moved. In addition, the page history formerly at Big Mouth (chief) has been moved to Big Mouth (chief, born 1822). Also, a history merge is unnecessary/impossible since the two aforementioned pages have parallel histories. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 18:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Big Mouth → Big Mouth (chief)
Big Mouth (disambiguation) → Big Mouth

– Simply doesn't meet WP:PRIMARYTOPIC criteria; from what I can gather, he's a rather obscure figure, and it's quite clear most of the (already sparse) pageviews he gets are misdirected. Just check out the massive spikes in views for the DAB page over the last few years. Nohomersryan (talk) 02:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No clear primary topic, so move Big Mouth (disambiguation) page to basename. Look at the FULL pageviews. The TV series trumps every other usage combined, and the disambiguation page has more views than the chief and the other topics (implying people aren't necessarily looking for the chief) and has crazy peaks in views whenever the TV series has new stuff. ...However, I don't believe the TV series is the primary topic; I'd say there isn't one yet. The series would need to establish its long-term notability. Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article was subject to a merge from Big Mouth (chief) in 2015, so if this goes through, a WP:HISTMERGE may be necessary. Station1 (talk) 07:54, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and move Big Mouth (disambiguation) page to base In ictu oculi (talk) 09:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I'm not sure why I forgot to list that one... updated in any case Nohomersryan (talk) 20:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support, merge Bigmouth too. Hyperbolick (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
