Requested move 5 August 2018

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 as requested; the Ohio politician's article has been retained at AfD, so the previous title remains incomplete disambiguation. Dekimasuよ! 19:12, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Danny O'Connor (politician) → Danny O'Connor (Northern Irish politician) – Incomplete disambiguation. It should be also noted that entries within categories such as Category:Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly by term or Category:Councillors in Northern Ireland use the form Ken Robinson (Northern Ireland politician) more frequently than the form Robert McCartney (Northern Irish politician). As for Danny O'Connor (Ohio politician), it would seem that he could be analogously disambiguated from the Northern Irish politician whose qualifier does not specify the local-level "(Larne politician)" or "(Antrim politician)". However, if consensus determines that within the United Kingdom, "Northern Ireland politician" is more akin to "(Ohio politician)" than to "(American politician)", then this nomination would solely concern Danny O'Connor (Northern Irish politician) or its alternative form, Danny O'Connor (Northern Ireland politician). There is also the entry for Australian Daniel O'Connor (politician), but he was apparently known as "Daniel", rather than "Danny".

Hi Roman! Hope this finds you well. Sort of curious why this is being done right before the special election in Ohio on Tuesday -- especially with all of the increased scrutiny with 45's rally. The timing seems a bit weird. Was there something specific that motivated having a tag on his page? Just wanting to ask and find out what prompted this. Best to you, - Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 06:30, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erika! It turned out to be an unfortunate coincidence alongside another two-politician nomination at Talk:Billy Adams (politician)#Requested move 5 August 2018. However, to prevent any undue interference with the special election, even in the slightest form (and, importantly, since no one has yet !voted here), I am restructuring this nomination as a single page move, thus enabling the removal of the tag from the Danny O'Connor (Ohio politician) article. Even more to the point, this can now be handled as an uncontroversial technical move, although the content of this talk page has to remain as a historical record. For the record, this was the content of the original double nomination. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:51, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Roman! :-) Thanks so much for answering this question. I worked on the page a bit and saw you took that off. I think making it a technical move is a great idea. I find the "Ohio politician" thing a bit odd, but I am constantly learning about disambiguation on Wikipedia. Thanks again. All the best to you! - Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 09:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
