Requested move 1 September 2019

[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: page moved. Also, at the present time, besides the fact that this discussion was never properly formatted as a multiple page move request, I see no consensus to move any other pages; any other pages can be nominated if need be. In addition, I will be retargeting Andrew Scott (Canadian musician) to Andrew Scott#Musicians as a {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} per the discussion below.

Andrew Scott (Canadian musician)Andrew Scott (Canadian musician, born 1979) – I feel like this article's title doesn't disambiguate sufficiently, since it could also apply equally well to Andrew Scott (drummer). Does anyone have any ideas for a better one? Maybe add his birth year? 208.81.148.195 (talk) 00:17, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Finding a one-word qualifier for the current nomination is a challenge since all three musicians named "Andrew Scott" are Canadian and play the guitar, although one of them {Andrew Scott (drummer)} is best known as a drummer and should remain unchanged. Two of them (the drummer and the currently-nominated folk guitarist) are also vocalists and songwriters, causing those descriptions to be eliminated as incomplete dabs.
My suggestion for the current nomination would be Andrew Scott (folk guitarist), thus disambiguating him from the third musician, Andrew Scott (Canadian jazz guitarist), who should then be moved to simply Andrew Scott (jazz guitarist). As a result, no musician named ""Andrew Scott" would need to use a qualifier which indicates his birth year or describes him as Canadian, unless we'd want to emphasize, within their qualifiers, the different nationalities of the three musicians named "Andy Scott", two of whom are English and one is Welsh. Then, all three Canadians should also have their nationality specified within their qualifiers. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 17:20, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think "folk guitarist" is certainly more recognizable than his birth year. "Singer-songwriter" might also work if we just want to get rid of "Canadian". Station1 (talk) 06:17, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Andrew Scott (drummer) article indicates that he is likewise known as a singer-songwriter. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 06:45, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Although the drummer occasionally sings and writes songs, it's not clear that he's 'known' for that. But "folk guitarist" is just as good for here, as is any imperfect qualifier that is unique and reasonably recognizable. Hatnotes take care of the rest.
