Note on the history here; this article was listed on WP:RM 21:22, 15 December 2006; it was moved, presumably ignoring the question of whether Emerson should redirect to Ralph Waldo Emerson 04:50 16 December; the discussion was closed, and my !vote incivilly removed 23:12 16 December. I revived the consensus on 17 December.
Now as long as there is genuine consensus, and there is at least a dab header to Emerson for those who are looking for him, I don't much care which way this goes, or whether it is closed on the 20 th or the 22nd; that's for the closing admin. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Brillant.. Thing is, this article is already set to be moved to that title. If you had checked the edit history, you'd see that "Emerson" as it stood when you editted it, had just been changed into a duplicate of this dab page. When the move goes through, there will be no need for a merge and the page history will be in the right place. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 20:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Further discussion

message: Well, a GIPU has recently been trying to add "Emerson Ferreira da Rosa" to the main page, under the same area as Ralph, though above him. See what happens? Although, I'm pretty sure "Emerson" is his given name, not surname, and Ralph is more notable, the issue goes beyond the appropriateness of this one addition. How am I supposed to defend including one above all others? What about when some insists that some "new" Emerson be listed on the main page as a notable "primary use"? When/where will it end? I say, here. I'm putting my metaphorical foot down. No person, living dead or even fictional will be mentioned here, barring that "Emerson" is their one and only name. And even then, I bet it would still be considered a "given name" by default.
No, the days of "Emerson" primarily meaning Ralph are long over. I will not see this page become a breeding ground for edit wars and content disputes just to spare people the pain of suffering through a flew more clicks, and maybe a careful search.
