I don't think there are other people named Bob Moore with an article here with the profession of a businessman/executive. So I propose the article moved to "Bob Moore (executive)" or "Bob Moore (businessman)", whichever fits him more. Erksahin (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It has been proposed in this section that multiple pages be renamed and moved.
A bot will list this discussion on requested moves' current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.
– There does not seem to be a primary topic for Bob Moore (WP:NOPRIMARY), and many people looking for Bob Moore the American food executive are ending up at the musician: [1]. WikiNav also shows that Bob's Red Mill was the only place people continued onto when searching Bob Moore (before his article was created). Pageviews for the Bob Moore's also seem to support moving Bob Moore to Bob Moore (musician). Cerebral726(talk) 16:31, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment@Cerebral726: I think you could go ahead with a move now. There’s nothing contentious with these moves. Thriley (talk) 21:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's customary for move requests to last a minimum of seven days before any action is taken. There is no need to rush. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there 23:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don’t think a move request was necessary for this article. Thriley (talk) 00:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You could very well be correct; however, a formal request has been opened and so far is doing well. Barring any unforeseen opposition these pages will be renamed in a few days when this move request is closed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.put'er there 04:46, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Let's make sure we look at the long view: monthly all time page views. Also, let's make sure we look at the observable reader behavior once they land at the current navigation setup: WikiNav for "Bob Moore" shows there was a total of 1.4k incoming views in December, and a total of 188 outgoing views could be identified, of which 23 went to the hatnote, which is <2% or ~12%. The latter is not impressive, really, though it's hard to say how indicative it is as the numbers are either large (the organic interest in the previously presumed primary topic) or small (the hatnote clicks are very close to the anonymization threshold of 10; the total number of outgoing views seems relatively small). Combined with the other information, it's worth an experiment to disambiguate, and check the stats later. --Joy (talk) 09:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Isn't 'businessman' more common than executive as our disambiguator? 205.167.180.254 (talk) 22:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Looking at results, it certainly is common. I would be fine with either, though businessman might be a more clear disambiguator. Cerebral726(talk) 13:43, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support as to all, bearing in mind that any "Robert" can be called "Bob", and Robert Moore has nearly three dozen names on the page. BD2412T 01:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
... that Bob Moore(pictured), the co-founder of Bob's Red Mill, transitioned his company to employee stock ownership because of his deeply-held belief "to do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? Source: "For years, Mr. Moore turned down prospective buyers, insisting on maintaining ownership of the company. In 2010, on his 81st birthday, he began transferring control to his staff through a new employee stock ownership plan. “The Bible says to do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” he later told Portland Monthly, explaining his belief that sharing profits and ownership would “make things more fair and more benevolent.”" Washington Post

Some ALTS I thought could be good:
ALT1 ...that Bob Moore didn't found Bob's Red Mill until after his first retirement? Source: [2] He retired when he was about 50, and he and his wife moved to Portland to pursue this course of study at a seminary. Mr. Moore, however, soon grew weary of the painstaking work involved in learning ancient languages.
ALT2 ...that Bob Moore became the founder of whole-grain company Bob's Red Mill decades after his father had a job driving a Wonder Bread truck? Source: [3] his father, too, had a grain-adjacent job of sorts: He drove a Wonder Bread truck.
