Requested move 23 November 2021 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to "Fran Williams". Consensus is that this is the common name and that a disambiguation article is not necessary. (closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2021 (UTC)Reply


Francesca Williams (netball)Francesca Williams – She is the only person with a deciated article, so hatnotes would suffice here, rather than a dab page at Fran Williams. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:16, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nomination. No indication that the "Fran" character from Grange Hill is even named "Francesca", thus there is no need to redirect Francesca Williams to the Fran Williams disambiguation page or even to keep the dab page where the link to the lengthy list of the series' characters, does not even provide any details about "Fran" who was on the series for two years 30 years ago. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 07:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Move to Fran Williams. Her clear common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Would likewise support Francesca Williams (netball)Fran Williams, per Necrothesp, thus enabling the renaming of the Fran Williams disambiguation page to Francesca Williams. Alternatively, the one-person-and-redirect-to-one-character dab page could be simply deleted. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 01:24, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Move to Fran Williams is fine with me too, and I'd suggest also then redirecting Francesca Williams to Fran Williams rather than a dab page. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:05, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. No need for a dab page. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:53, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
That's right, instead of "...could be simply deleted.", I should have written, "...could simply become a redirect." —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 15:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
