Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Death of David Oluwale. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add ((cbignore)) after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add ((nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot)) to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090124003856/http://digyorkshire.com:80/digHighlights.asp?highlightTypeIdentifier=2002829_890102566 to http://www.digyorkshire.com/digHighlights.asp?highLightTypeIdentifier=2002829_890102566&eventIdentifier=9f45a910-590a-4a55-b7a2-3e709a009eb8

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Hello all, I added an image to this page as part of a short-term paid project to share images of a year of culture that was held in Leeds. There's more on the project here and more images to make use of here, including more of the Hibiscus Rising sculpture. Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 10:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: it was reverted, no problem Lajmmoore (talk) 11:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst Mr Oluwale was initially know to history as a result of his tragic death, he now surpasses GNG requirements for more than that unfortunate fact alone (SIGCOV of events both at the time of his death and more recently; things named in his honour; a Blue plaque, etc.). Is there any reason why this article shouldn't be named simply "David Oluwale" rather than the current (and rather morbid) "Death of David Oluwale"? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 20:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support for this move Lajmmoore (talk) 07:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not too sure how this process works, though you may wish to state your position in the actual RM thread below. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - suggest making into a formal move request to advertise the request. Keith D (talk) 13:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

   Done: Thank you for the suggestion, Keith D. (Having never previously initiated the WP:RM process, appreciate if you would check to make sure this has been properly implemented.) Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has been proposed in this section that Death of David Oluwale be renamed and moved to David Oluwale. 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. Please use ((subst:requested move)). Do not use ((requested move/dated)) directly. Links: current log • target log • direct move

Death of David Oluwale → David Oluwale – Short form title preferable (see Ngram for David Oluwale, Death of David Oluwale and "Name of article" thread above). -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose The article is an article about the event of his death, not a biography of him. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per User:Pppery. 162 etc. (talk) 16:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose: Not much about the subject but a non incoherent article about his death, notably passed per SIGCOV. Much not found about the subject in this article to warrant the move. Strongly oppose. All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Support There's a significant section on his life, longer than for other 'death of ...' articles and his life - his identity and his experiences - as well as his death, have shaped the legacies that make him increasingly notable Lajmmoore (talk) 15:17, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
