The result of the proposal was support for move to Abigail Adams Smith. I have created the suggested redirect at Nabby Adams.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

The portrait associated with this page is not of Abigail Adams Smith, but of her mother, Abigail Smith Adams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.75.56.122 (talk) 16:04, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Requested move
The subject appears to be frequently referred to as "Nabby Adams", and rarely if ever as "Abigail “Nabby” Adams Smith". I propose to move the page to that name.  Will Beback   talk    22:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support a move away from the current title not on the factual merits but for aesthetic reasons. Nabby Adams or Abigail Adams Smith would be fine with me. —  AjaxSmack   23:35, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - per preceding, I thought WP:Commonname comes into play here. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:04, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I support a move away from the current name, but lean towards Abigail Adams Smith. That was her name for most of her life, esp. adult life, and how she is referred to as author of her collected letters and in other sources, whereas Nabby is a nickname. Although I was surprised to see how often Nabby Adams is used in more recent sources, both names are used. (See also Abigail Adams Smith Museum.) I would make Nabby Adams a redirect. Either one is an improvement, though. Station1 (talk) 04:52, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd support Abigail Adams Smith too. Either it or Nabby Adams are better than the current title.   Will Beback    talk    20:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Marriage Failure?
The article on John Adams says that her marriage failed, but I can see no mention of that here? The Jade Knight (talk) 07:28, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added a sourced paragraph on the marriage. A prior engagement failed, which may have caused confusion, and it seems from other sources that Nabby's visits to her parents were for health reasons (first for treatment, and later to die), rather than due to marriage 'failure', though it was evidently not the best of marriages. —ADavidB 14:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
