Steve Marshall → Steven Marshall (disambiguation) – Or, should Steve and Stephen Marshall DAB pages be combined? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:02, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Steve Marshall → Steven Marshall (disambiguation), but would support combining per WP:DABCOMBINE. No need to have two dab pages — one called Steven Marshall (disambiguation) page and the other called Stephen Marshall. Since one form is not predominant over the the other two and the Stephen Marshall dab page was created first (in June 2009), Steve Marshall should redirect to the Stephen Marshall disambiguation page and, if there is consensus that the South Australian politician Steven Marshall is primary over the other two man named "Steven Marshall", then the already existing hatnote atop his entry pointing to the Stephen Marshall dab is sufficient. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:29, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Steve", "Steven" and "Stephen" are all variants of the same name so I'd combine probably use "Stephen" as that's probably the most common form and not abbreviated. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree, the combined version is better, and Stephen is better because probably more common, and also people called Steve could have either spelling for their full name. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:43, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
