 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was no consensus at this time. Should be re-evaluated after the election. JPG-GR (talk) 02:59, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Move is requested since this is the primary topic. Dick Zimmer should link to it and not to a disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Offenbach (talk • contribs) 07:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support, probably enough more notable than an Ohio city commissioner. But neutrality is far more important than the naming question, and will be much more difficult. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Although internet searches (Google, Google books, etc.) indicate that the New Jersey politician is a bit more notable, that could change. The New Jersey Zimmer is running for US Senator. If he loses the election, and the Ohio Zimmer runs for US Senator in a few years, the notability factor would likely be reversed. Since both Dick Zimmers are US politicians, I think disambiguation is important, and since they are politicians, notability is fairly transient. Furthermore, as mentioned above, neutrality is also an issue. We wouldn't want people to question whether a move is politically motivated, and these two happen to be affiliated with different US political parties. Wilhelm meis (talk) 04:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. A former Congressman is more notable than a city commissioner, to be sure, but why the rush?  If he wins, we'll obviously move him.  If he loses, he should stay where he is.  Let's decide this when the voters do in November.  Coemgenus 11:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems a perfectly reasonable solution. I would go along with that. Wilhelm meis (talk) 17:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: move the article on the New Jersey politician to Dick Zimmer and the article on the general to Richard Zimmer at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 05:33, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

– The previous move request reached no consensus because of a conflict with a page for an Ohio politician with the same name. That page, Dick Zimmer (Ohio politician), has since been deleted. Dick Zimmer is currently a disambiguation page, which can in turn be moved to Richard Zimmer to disambiguate Dick Zimmer from Richard Zimmer (general). (Richard Zimmer currently redirects to Dick Zimmer.) Offenbach (talk) 01:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Dick Zimmer (New Jersey politician) → Dick Zimmer
 * Dick Zimmer → Richard Zimmer
 * Support per nomination. As of this writing, Wikipedia has only one main title header for "Richard Zimmer" and only one for "Dick Zimmer". Since both men are known as "Richard", but only one is also known as "Dick", the dab page's main header should be "Richard Zimmer". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 14:34, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination.Djflem (talk) 17:32, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the disambiguation page as not required (WP:2DABS). Move pages the other pages asd required, and use hatnotes. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Since there is only one "Dick Zimmer" and only one "Richard Zimmer", I would likewise Support the deletion of this disambiguation page and use of hatnotes per Shhhnotsoloud. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:52, 24 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per previous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:301:4360:B055:14B0:B665:F5AA (talk) 20:17, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
