Requested move 31 July 2018
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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Dab page deleted and the three pages distinguished through "Steve", "Stephen" and "Steven". This arrangement was suggested by Jamacfarlane and agreed to by the nominator, so has a rough consensus. Necrothesp's point that Steve is also Stephen is valid, but he doesn't seem to be primary for Stephen so hatnotes will take case of everything else. — Amakuru (talk) 21:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
– Neither of the others are called Steve. Unreal7 (talk) 11:25, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support and also propose: Stephen McCabe (councillor) → Stephen McCabe. jamacfarlane (talk) 02:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Clarify: I support Steve McCabe (politician) → Steve McCabe, but support deleting the DAB page as there is a Steve, a Stephen and a Steven. I would put hatnotes on the two politicians, though. jamacfarlane (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support first. Appears to be true. However, Steve McCabe's full name is also Stephen. Therefore move Steve McCabe to Stephen McCabe, as two out of three have that name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:28, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- I propose instead deleting the DAB page and moving Steve McCabe (politician) to Steve McCabe. I take your point about using the full name in the lead paragraph (discussion elsewhere), but the WP:COMMONNAME for the article title is "Steve" not "Stephen" so there is no need to disambiguate. I have already added hatnotes to the two articles. jamacfarlane (talk) 17:33, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- I agree. Unreal7 (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
