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: consensus to move the articles on the politicians to Thomas Garrett (Virginia politician) and Tommy Garrett (Nebraska politician), and no consensus to move the other pages at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 22:42, 7 June 2018 (UTC)Reply


– The abolitionist does not appear to be a dominant "primary" topic, at least based on page views, when considering all seven of the other people who are identified on the disambiguation page. The current Virginia politician seldom seems to be referred to as "Jr." in sources, and seems more often referred to as "Thomas" than "Tom" in sources. There are articles about him in the last 24 hrs by NPR, Newsweek, Washington Post, the Denver Post, Yahoo, CNBC, Huffpost, etc., that all use "Thomas" and don't use "Jr." and mostly don't use "Tom". His official site uses a mixture of Thomas and Tom and does not use "Jr."; on its main page there are two "Thomas" and one "Tom". Clarifying the disambiguator term for the Nebraska politician would also help distinguish him from the other two politicians. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
