Thomas Lennon (filmmaker)Thomas Lennon (filmmaker, born 1951)WP:PRECISE ambiguous disambiguation is a bad idea. There are multiple filmmakers by this name (just as there are multiple screenwriters by this name). The current title should redirect to Thomas Lennon (disambiguation). -- 65.94.170.15 (talk) 05:20, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure on this one - the other Thomas Lennon's aren't primarily known for filmmaking, although they have "made films". Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:46, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's the same case as with the screenwriter Thomas Lennon (screenwriter, born 1896), where the others are not primarily known as such. However, WP:PRECISE shows that because they are such, they cannot be solely disambiguated ambiguously. He's not the primary topic of "Thomas Lennon" Therefore he must be disambiguated in a way that is not ambiguous with the others. The primary topic Thomas Lennon is also a wikt:filmmaker (producer and director), so this is insufficient disambiguation in all cases. -- 65.94.170.15 (talk) 11:54, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is a contested technical request (permalink). @65.94.170.15 and Lugnuts: please discuss. SkyWarrior 17:35, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Lennon (filmmaker)Thomas F. Lennon – Per the last discussion, we have a rough agreement that the proper title of this article is "Thomas F. Lennon" per WP:NATURALDAB. That is a policy based move. -- 67.70.35.17 (talk) 06:05, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NB not sure why Thomas Lennon (screenwriter) is redirecting to Thomas Lennon (screenwriter, born 1896)? Shouldn't it be headed to Thomas Lennon (disambiguation)?? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think that should be the case. The primary topic Thomas Lennon is a filmmaker and screenwriter, as well as an actor and comedian. So "screenwriteR" should point to the dab page -- 67.70.35.17 (talk) 23:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When I click on that link, I get to the dab page. So, I don't know what kind of error you've encountered. -- 67.70.35.17 (talk) 23:20, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
