*Oppose. Top hit for Google.com is the footballer, but top hit from Google.co.uk is the Olympic medal winner (Matthew Ryan (equestrian)), who has the mattryan.co.uk domain name despite the name of his article. I am thinking that Matthew Ryan (equestrian) perhaps needs to be moved to Matt Ryan (equestrian)? Too many Matt/Matthew Ryans to give one person primary usage.

replies: text: *Google results aren't everything.  If the equestrian guy was really such a major usage, I'd think he'd have more than a 4-sentence stub article.  This article is only going to grow and Matt Ryan's popularity is only going to increase now that he's soon to be an NFL starting QB.  There's no reason not to anticipate this now and make this move.

message: The section on Ryan's 2008 season was filled with too much game by game performance summaries and was getting too long.  I removed all but mentions to instances marking highlights or milestones.  BrokenSphereMsg me 19:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have added a mention of Boston College in the opening of the section. Readers should not have to search through the entire article to find something so basic as the subject's alma mater. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  College degree? 

message: I was wondering why "Matty Ice" isn't used as his nickname instead of "Matt".  I would like someone to check the redirect traffic of people searching "Matty Ice", I guarantee a significant portion of them are looking for Matthew Ryan.  When Googling "Matty Ice", Matt Ryan is the dominant subject of most of the first four pages.  Dragonsfly20 (talk) 01:10, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
