This article is badly in need of an update

It states he's most commonly known as Nigel McGuinness - which obviously isn't the case anymore. Desmond Wolfe is shown to an international audience of millions every week, I think it's safe to say he's more known for his time in TNA now. And that picture is very out of date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.53.203 (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Although the picture is now up to date, WP:COMMONNAME surely qualifies a move to "Desmond Wolfe" with a redirect at "Nigel McGuinness". He is far better known under his TNA name rather his indy one. The Madras (talk) 19:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Nigel McGuinness → Desmond Wolfe — He is far better now as Desmond Wolfe on TNA every week, rather than indy wrestler Nigel McGuinness. The Madras (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:Commonname, the article should stay at its current location.--WillC 21:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

How so? He is far better known as Desmond Wolfe, being on TNA programming, rather than by his indy name. Google has 55,200 searches for Nigel McGuinness and 925,000 searches for Desmond Wolfe. The Madras (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Well first since he has appeared in several countries as Nigel and already worked a few matches in TNA as Nigel years ago. His work in ROH was broadcasted on national television where he won two major titles and headlined for the company. At this time he is about equal.--WillC 05:27, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

With respect I disagree. TNA is far bigger than ROH, even when Nigel headlined for ROH. The Google hits also show far more recognition for Desmond Wolfe rather than Nigel McGuinness.The Madras (talk) 10:20, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

It seems we are at a stalemate. Bring this up at WT:PW to get a wider view so a consensus can be determined.--WillC 05:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support, already more Google hits for Wolfe, and since that's his current name, the gap is only going to get wider.--Kotniski (talk) 10:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

• See WT:PW, it appears project decision is clearly against a move.--WillC 20:57, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't see what you mean. All I can find on that page are a few comments saying they disagree, but no reasons or arguments, so that doesn't mean anything.--Kotniski (talk) 09:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
