Harry G. Haskell Jr. → Harry Haskell – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC - but that may not be the case because the top google search result for "Harry Haskell" is the music and history writer (who doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet). Just "Harry G. Haskell" could be an alternative. Haskell the politician was also known as "Hal" (see Joe Biden's 2008 book Promises to Keep ), but my google searches of "Hal Haskell" + Delaware and "Hal Haskell" + Wilmington returned only hundreds of results compared to thousands for "Harry G. Haskell" + Delaware (~7.25k) and "Harry Haskell" + Delaware (~2.75k). Arbor to SJ (talk) 04:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose as I can't even understand nom's rationale. Dicklyon (talk) 05:43, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, in plain English: I think this article's title should be just "Harry Haskell" because Harry Haskell the politician is the primary topic for "Harry Haskell" - yet a Google search of "Harry Haskell" implies otherwise, so I am suggesting just "Harry G. Haskell" as an alternative because it's not necessary to disambiguate with the extra "Jr.", or the nickname "Hal Haskell" that is less common (thus WP:COMMONNAME doesn't apply.)

 * Oppose as it seems the Harry Haskell who has the top google search (which nom links above) will be another primary contender once he has a Wikipedia page, which seems inevitable (before 2030?). Randy Kryn (talk) 14:55, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * So what do you think would be a better alternative: just plain Harry G. Haskell without the Jr.? There is no need to disambiguate "Harry G. Haskell". Arbor to SJ (talk) 18:05, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
