Why is this contested? He is universally referred to as "Rob Pyne" and the article is only at this name because the existing redirect prevented the creation of the article at the title it should have been created at? One of these men is known commonly as Robert Pyne, the other as Rob Pyne, the disambiguation is easy, and this should not have been contested.

He appeared on ballot papers as "Rob Pyne" and has universally been referred to as such. The article actually should have been deleted prior to yesterday as he wasn't notable until he won the seat, but that's by the by. As for the various other Robert Pynes, pretty simple, I'd say. This one goes to "Rob Pyne", "Robert Pyne" is made a dab page, "Robert Pyne (politician)" redirects to the dab, and as for the Canadian politician, I leave that up to people familiar with such things to decide based on how the sources describe him.

This is the start of the last edit of the deleted article Rob Pyne (Australian councillor): "Cr. Rob Pyne a fifth generation Cairns resident, has always lived on the south side. He was born in Gordonvale, grew up in Edmonton and has lived in Mt Sheridan for the last 14 years. In 1991 Rob suffered a tragic diving accident that left him a quadriplegic. Although being in a wheelchair for the past 20 years, it hasn’t stopped him achieving, always putting the ‘ability’ in ‘disability’. He spent nine months recuperating in Princess Alexandria Hospital Spinal Unit in Brisbane, during which time he married his fiancé Jenny. ...", and see image of his face. It is the same man. I have history-merged Rob Pyne (Australian councillor) to Robert Pyne (politician). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:33, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify what's going on here: before yesterday, this guy wasn't notable. The article should never have been accepted at AfC; in fact, it was declined twice (and the person who eventually accepted it noted that it should probably be at Rob Pyne). Since he was elected to the Queensland Parliament yesterday, he now qualifies. The fact that it is at "Robert" at all is probably because it had already been deleted at "Rob". This really is an uncontroversial move; I would have done it myself if I hadn't started a new page at "Rob Pyne" before I found the "Robert Pyne (politician)" one.

Since it wasn't a BRD revert move, any non-mischievous reason for contesting the speedy move is a proper reason for contesting the move. It only extends the period to the move happening by 7 days -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 12:52, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the current title is wholly inappropriate, due to the existence of the Canadian politician. As the Canadian politician is currently functioning as the primary topic for "Robert Pyne", then "Robert Pyne (politician)" should also point to the primary topic. At the very least, this article needs to move to "Robert Pyne (Australian politician)" if it doesn't move to "Rob Pyne". -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 12:55, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
