Requested move 18 February 2019
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Moved as proposed. bd2412 T 20:46, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
– The only other two "Henry Golding"s are English parliament members from the 1500s. Both are incredibly tiny stubs with 2 sentences on each page, and share the same source, that being http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/. Golding's (the actor) pageviews are significantly higher than both the other two's pageviews combined, to the point where the parliament members' are not visible. Google searches for "Henry Golding" only turn up the actor, even when "parliament" is specified. This seems like a clear case of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to me.

- Support. Last year, the Henry Golding DAB page got 11,260 views. The two MPs got a combined 449. There was a day last year when the DAB page got over 1000 views! Obviously this is a poor setup that isn't serving readers. Nohomersryan (talk) 04:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Support. The other pages are clearly much less popular or useful to readers than this one. Hickland (talk) 04:44, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Support rare case where there actually is a primary topic in entertainment. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:09, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Support per above. The dab page gets 20x the views of both parliamentarians combined so it's fairly clear that people are mostly looking for the actor. PC78 (talk) 10:34, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hosting/Presenting
editHave tried to add that Henry Golding is a former TV presenter/travel host. Included multiple recognisable references to the CNN news site, BBC website, etc. Change is repeatedly reverted by User:Thedarkknightli with no explanation or commentary added. Adding references here for clarity.[1][2][3][4] And here's an interview where he literally describes himself as a former host.[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrookedZim (talk • contribs) 18:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @CrookedZim, you're actually right. I've just found out that >10 reliable sources have called Golding a "TV host/TV presenter". My bad.

- Ah ok, thank you for the update! I'm new, so wasn't sure if I'd done something wrong. CrookedZim (talk) 14:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Is Henry Golding indeed British?
editI am not aware of any clear evidence that Henry Golding is indeed British (that is, to say, a citizen of the UK). If somebody has such clear evidence, by all means, post it as a source. Otherwise, it seems to me that this article should stop claiming that he is a British. Sakhalinrf (talk) 13:28, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
