message: As Lauren has now been on the show for a longer period with her married surname of Turner than her maiden name of Carpenter is this not justification enough to rename the article page? Gmanuk2007 (talk) 18:32, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

message: :Lauren Carpenter →  – I propose that this page be moved to "Lauren Turner (Neighbours)" and that this page no longer goes under the surname "Carpenter". In this discussion, it was determined the page would not be moved, most likely due to the fact that Carpenter was the more prominent of the two last names, but I would disagree with that now. Here is a table of searches I have set up, similar to last discussion's.
Source                     	Carpenter	Turner
Google (without Neighbours)	21,900,00	42,000,000*
Google (with Neighbours)   	290,000  	535,000
Google News (total archive)	2,160    	10,600
Digital Spy**              	80       	259
The Guardian**             	9        	70
Radio Times**              	7        	10
* A reminder that this would include the singer (who may be the less notable of the two now).** This has been searched using the Advanced Google Search tool, writing "Lauren (name) Neighbours".As per these searches, we can see that Lauren Turner is the character's more common name. Another reason for the past request's failure may have been because all her major storylines occurred in her original stint on the serial, but it could be that this has now changed. Additionally, Lauren Carpenter made appearances for only two years, while Lauren Turner made appearances for seven years, six of which were consecutive. I am contacting editors User:U-Mos, User:DaniloDaysOfOurLives, User:JuneGloom07, User:Raintheone and User:Soaper1234 to ask for their opinion if possible. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 07:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: *Support per nom. While less important than the data above, it's striking that - like Terese Willis - the character retained Turner as her surname despite remarrying, indicating its legacy status. U-Mos (talk) 07:16, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move on 19 August 2022

message: :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. Rough consensus to move on grounds of WP:COMMONNAME; arguments about disambiguation are unconvincing, as we only disambiguate titles that are conflicted on-wiki. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 11:06, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Lauren Carpenter →  – Formalising stale request from  to allow a decision to be made. I support due to the data above, and the character being on-screen under her original surname for a little over a year, and as Turner for 4 years as a regular and 5 subsequent years of occasional guest appearances (where she retained Turner as her surname despite remarrying). Lauren Turner (the singer) has recently been redirected to an American Idol season article, so the primary namespace is available with a hatnote to guide anyone searching for the singer.

replies: text: There's certainly a reasonable counter-argument here, but I would say that a) now there is no need to disambiguate within Wikipedia, the fact that googling "Lauren Turner" returns other figures is not relevant to naming WP:CRITERIA, in the event that Turner is this character's more common name, so the latter is what we should be discussing; and b) I'm not convinced that the twenty off-screen years hold that much weight - how much were sources discussing a really very short-lived (albeit story intensive) character in the decades after her exit, in comparison to her on-screen years in the Internet age? Currently the article only indicates a couple of retrospective profiles in the late 90s/2000s, not enough to justify that she'd still be better known as Carpenter today in my view.
