James A. Robinson (economist) → James A. Robinson – The only other entry bearing the same name is a four-sentence stub for James A. Robinson (American political scientist). Deletion of the parenthetical qualifier "(economist)" [both men are also political scientists] would likewise obviate need for the two-entry James A. Robinson (disambiguation) page per WP:ONEOTHER. A hatnote pointing to the American political scientist's entry will suffice. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 20:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Move to James Robinson (British economist). That's how his name appears on his university homepage. And elsewhere and again. Clearly his common name does not include the middle initial. And there's also an American economist by that name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support move to the base name as he is the primary topic per page views and google search. Since there are 3 entries on the disambiguation page Move James A. Robinson to James A. Robinson (disambiguation). DrKay (talk) 08:49, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
