Willingale, EssexWillingale – The village would appear to be primary over the surname (of which we don't yet have an article on, although there is coverage). Thomas Willingale lived in nearby Loughton and Betty Willingale is marked with sourcing problems. Out of the 3 topics the village gets the most views [[1]] and per WP:NAMELIST its highly unlikely that they would be known commonly by their last name only. In any case the 2 surname holders can be linked in a hatnote per WP:2DABPRIMARY. If the surname later gets an article then it will still be a WP:2DABS situation as none of the holders would be included in the hatnote. The RAF base is located nearby and is included in the see also section so the DAB can be ditched. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:49, 20 November 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

  • Oppose a village of 500, known mainly for an airfield of the same name, and test two people. Looks like DAB territory. Doesn't require fixing. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:30, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    As noted people are usually part title matches and don't really compete for primacy, unless like Hitler or Nixon are well known in a general context by their last name. Hatnotes are sufficient in this case. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:01, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
