Requested move 15 August 2020
[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: moved as proposed, consistent with Jeanne M. Holm (NASA), Jack King (NASA), George Mueller (NASA), William W. Parsons (NASA) (directory of KSC), and Miguel Rodríguez (NASA). No prejudice against subsequent move (possibly multi-move) of this or those to a better consistent qualifier. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:49, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

- Support. No clear primary topic per pageviews: [1]. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:49, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose the disambiguator the nom choosed. I would like to use "(JSC director)" instead. I support rest of the nomination. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 17:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose as nominated. Not a NASA. I would support George Abbey (NASA administrator). -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Support He is a difficult one to disambiguate, but I actually prefer the proposed qualifier, George Abbey (NASA). NASA administrator as the qualifier is not appropriate because this not a title George Abbey held and would be misleading. I am fine with JSC director or NASA director, but WP:NCPDAB suggests trying limit the qualifier to 'a single, recognizable and highly applicable term.' In that sense, though (NASA) is not what George Abbey was, per se, it is much shorter, more recognizable, and representative of George Abbey than a specific job title is (especially when you read the article see that he held many titles with NASA over his ~40 year career).--Cincotta1 (talk)
- The organisation someone worked for is simply not what we use as a disambiguator. He clearly was a NASA administrator (in its generic sense). His specific job title is irrelevant. But if you're uncomfortable with that, how about "NASA official"? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:41, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

The class needs to be reevaluated
[edit]This article's class is currently related as Start, which is obviously too low a quality rating for its improved state. We need a reviewer to reevaluate this.
In fact, the ORES predicted quality is GA (4.11). Peaceray (talk) 16:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- This is a C-class article. Significant expansion is needed for his professional career. Flibirigit (talk) 16:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reevaluation. Perhaps the ORES prediction may inspire editors to bring it up to GA or at least B class. Peaceray (talk) 18:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- That would be a dream project to work on, but there's quite a lot of literature on him and it's kind of tiring to work on, but I'll throw my hat in the ring anyways. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 19:34, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- I suggest incorporating more reliable sources into his professional career. The section "U.S. Air Force and Apollo program", has only one source. The "Space Shuttle" and "Johnson Space Center director" sections are slightly better at four sources each. Flibirigit (talk) 21:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
