– McDonald was a runholder from Gisborne, New Zealand. Looking at coverage, there is not a single instance that he is referred to as MacDonald in the local paper, The Poverty Bay Herald. In fact, there are numerous advertisements placed by McDonald in that newspaper using "Mc" without an "a". The article title comes from Wilson, the standard work for New Zealand politicians, but it's not the only instance where he got the spelling of a name wrong. Looking at the Australian politician, he does not appear to be the primary topic, and given that we now have three Allan McDonalds, I have set up a dab page.  Schwede 66  21:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Allan MacDonald (New Zealand politician) → Allan McDonald (New Zealand politician)
 * Allan McDonald (disambiguation) → Allan McDonald
 * Allan McDonald → Allan McDonald (Australian politician)
 * Support the sources use "McDonald". Also support moving the dab page. Stickee (talk) 00:35, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment perhaps the four disambiguation pages should be merged together Alan McDonald (disambiguation) - Allan McDonald (disambiguation) - Alan MacDonald (disambiguation) Allan MacDonald (disambiguation) -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 23:30, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support the moves, and I agree with the anon, if we can merge the disambiguation pages then all the better. Mattlore (talk) 02:29, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
