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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to James Westcott III. Per consensus agreed below. There doesn't seem a need to let this run any longer, so closing now. If anyone objects, let me know. — Amakuru (talk) 11:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

James Westcott, Jr. → James Westcott Jr. – WP:JR ―Mandruss ☎ 22:47, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Comment - his father James Westcott is apparently called Jr. too. Should this guy be III or something? not sure how it works. — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Amakuru: This is flagged as contested, but I don't see any challenge in WP:RMT's history. Are you the challenger? If so, the choice between Jr. and III or something is separate and independent from removing the comma per WP:JR. ―Mandruss ☎ 20:35, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I sent it for discussion because I'm not sure what's going on. The proposed target is currently a redirect to James Westcott, so there seems to be some confusion. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Amakuru: That confirms what I said. Removal of the comma does not make that confusion any better or worse, and I think it should proceed. ―Mandruss ☎ 22:09, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Support deletion of comma. The "Jr." son of "Jr." peculiarity also requires a resolution, possibly as a separate nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 19:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Support deletion of comma. Disambiguating these two people by a comma is beyond silly. However, we need a better proposal since the target is taken as a redirect to the other Jr. Mandruss, please work out more specifically what you're proposing, and I expect I'll support it. I think I'd go with III, like this book, and say he is also known as Jr. Dicklyon (talk) 04:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Mandruss: would you be happy for this to be moved to James Westcott III? That seems to be the best choice right now, per Dicklyon's evidence above. It seems like the father is primary for both plain James Westcott and the James Westcott Jr. title, which means both the source and target should simply redirect to James Westcott with a hatnote to JW III. If you're happy with that arrangement then we can close the RM. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 09:30, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Amakuru: No objection to that. ―Mandruss ☎ 11:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
