The result of the move request was: moved Charles Schwab (disambiguation) → Charles Schwab per split page views and multiple historical significances. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:39, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

– Discussed at Talk:Charles R. Schwab#Requested move 18 September 2018. Is the Corporation the primary topic? Page views[1] seem to suggest not, but google hits[2] seem to suggest yes. Should the disambiguation page or the corporation be moved to the base page? Celia Homeford (talk) 13:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Charles Schwab (disambiguation) → Charles Schwab, becaues "Charles Schwab" lacks a clear primary topic due to multiple, notable topics throughout history, whether the steel magnate Charles M. Schwab, the financier Charles R. Schwab, or the Charles Schwab Corporation. Arbor to SJ (talk) 03:48, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The first as no clear PT, no comment on the 2nd. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:24, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The corporation is highly likely to be the topic sought by contemporary readers, much more so than the historical figures. Brycehughes (talk) 13:01, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move Charles Schwab (disambiguation) → Charles Schwab – where it was before 30 September 2008 (as I said in the previous RM). No clear primary topic, taking into account the long-term significance of the steel magnate, and that in modern use, the name of the brokerage firm vs. its founder is ambiguous without any context. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:00, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
