Requested move 12 January 2022

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: Moved. Redirecting John Martin (admiral) to dab page. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 00:51, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Martin (admiral) → John Martin (New Zealand admiral) – Insufficient disambiguation, given John Martin (Royal Navy officer), who is also an admiral; I see no indication that this is the "primary" admiral. BD2412 T 19:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. The incomplete disambiguation, John Martin (admiral), should redirect to the John Martin#Military dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. --Bduke (talk) 08:27, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Pretty clear case; not sure why you didn’t just move the article. Schwede 66 16:30, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Schwede66: In my excessively long experience, the times when you move the article due to a pretty clear case are often the times when someone pops up to contest the move, and it becomes a thing. BD2412 T 00:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support and I agree that it it is better to seek consensus than to risk causing a fuss.Mozzie (talk) 10:15, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support the NZ one gets 70 views compared with 37[[1]] for the Royal Navy Officer, likely not enough for a PDAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to John Martin (RNZN officer). There is precedent for this. See Neil Anderson (RNZN officer). And also Category:Royal New Zealand Air Force air marshals. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support original move. "New Zealand admiral" is a much clearer disambiguator than "RNZN officer". It might be better if the other ones were moved. — Amakuru (talk) 21:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
