The result of the move request was: moved. The result of the discussion was to keep Alexander Findlay (politician) where it is. Alexander Findlay (Lieutenant-Governor) has been moved to Alexander Findlay (British Army officer), according to the common conventions for disambiguating military officers as pointed out below, and agreed to. — usernamekiran (talk)  22:33, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

– Lowercase job title, removing hyphen, and improving disambiguation of other article title to distinguish the Scottish politician from the British colonial lieutenant governor. —BarrelProof (talk) 01:27, 2 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:29, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Alexander Findlay (Lieutenant-Governor) → Alexander Findlay (lieutenant governor)
 * Alexander Findlay (politician) → Alexander Findlay (Scottish politician)
 * Support per nomination. Uncontroversial requests. The military lieutenant governor does not appear to qualify as a politician.   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support removing useless capital letters. 提尔巴 (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2018 (UTC).
 * Move Alexander Findlay (Lieutenant-Governor) to Alexander Findlay (British Army officer). What he actually was. This is usually how we disambiguate military officers who were later appointed colonial administrators. Certainly don't remove the hyphen in any case. Oppose the other one, since the army officer was in no way a politician (and was in any case also Scottish!). -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:23, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I see no problem with Necrothesp's alternative suggestions. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:08, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
