The result of the move request was: Moved. While there was some doubt expressed as to the primary topic, there seems to be consensus that Lady Hamilton is not known by this name, and a hatnote is sufficient — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:16, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Support. While Lady Hamilton's birth name was Emma Lyon, she is rarely referred to as such. For conciseness, I'm convinced the title of Emma Lyon (the poet)'s article should simply be "Emma Lyon" (the name by which she is known and under which she published), with a hatnote linking to the Lady Hamilton article.

Kyuko, nom doesn't normally support own proposal, you are the creator of this new article (for which thanks, it's a notable poetry bio) and the nom here. But did you check GBooks before this technical request? How do you justify this move on the basis of the two criteria for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC..? In ictu oculi (talk) 11:16, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
