William Loring (disambiguation) → William Loring – I have just created William Loring (judge), giving four articles (plus another potential article) for this name. I doubt that William Wing Loring is the primary topic for this name. Move to the undisambiguated title and quash the current redirect. BD2412 T 01:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. No indication that the Civil War general William Wing Loring has such overwhelming historical stature that the short form of his name would be automatically positioned as the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:58, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, that sounds reasonable. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. No clear primary topic. Move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:53, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
