The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Gabz (singer) → Gabz – Can't see why anyone would call Gaborone "Gabz". --Relisted. --  tariq abjotu  17:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC) Unreal7 (talk) 19:57, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment are you from Botswana? There seems to be a Gaborone radio station named "Gabz", is that named after a nickname for the city? The article lists it as a nickname. Are you a Botswanan who doesn't like the nickname? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 22:59, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose no proof given by nominator -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 23:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak support although it's WP:Recent can't really claim that the nickname of a Botswanan city is going to be primary. A hatnote in both directions will cover this. On the other hand, what harm will it do having (singer)? none whatsoever - other than confirming to searchers they've got what they were looking for. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 *  Weak support - I would agree with In ictu oculi in that the nickname of a city isn't really primary, but I think a hatnote would only be needed in one direction, not both. – anemone projectors – 09:41, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Further comment - I did think at first that "Gabz Gardiner" was a more appropriate title, hence I created the redirect with that name, per Naming conventions (people) "don't use a first name (even if unambiguous) for an article title if the last name is known and fairly often used", but that was before I saw WP:STAGENAME. – anemone projectors – 09:41, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Move to Gabz Gardiner, which is what she was actually called on BGT. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment, it appears from her single cover that her music releases will be under the mononym Gabz, not the name Gabz Gardiner. – anemone projectors – 09:04, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Nothing released as yet, so the name by which she is commonly known as of now is Gabz Gardiner. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:15, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It's out on Monday and is being released under the name "Gabz" - see Amazon, for example. I believed the name "Gabz Gardiner" should be used at first, that's why I created the original redirect with that title, but she's recording under her mononym. If I've understood the naming conventions incorrectly, then I'll happily change my vote. – anemone projectors – 15:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've also just done a few Google searchs, and 'Gabz "The One"' gets 304,000 results with '"Gabz Gardiner" "The One"' getting 135,000 results. That's less than half. Changing "The One" to "Britain's Got Talent" gives Gabz 134,000 results and Gabz Gardiner 37,400 results, less than one third. So I think that shows she's better known as just Gabz, and the article title should reflect that - the same as with Madonna, Shakira, Ashanti, Kesha, Adele, Cher, Donovan, Prince... – anemone projectors – 16:05, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
