Kozo Watanabe → Kozo Watanabe_(politician) – Please put your reason for moving here. The page "Kozo Watanabe (engineer)" exists. So I would like to propose to change the name of this page to "Kozo Watanabe (politician)". Thank you for your consideration. --Relisted. --  tariq abjotu  03:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC) Prince Skyline S54B 14:02, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:TWODABS. All that is needed is a hatnote at Kozo Watanabe which I have just added.  —  AjaxSmack   01:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:TWODABS. The new hatnote is sufficient. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Move unless someone demonstrates that the politician is the primary topic, per WP:TWODABS: where no topic is primary, the disambiguation page is placed at the base name. --Kusunose 14:24, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support see below - per WP:TWODABS "As discussed above, if an ambiguous term has no primary topic, then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page. In other words, where no topic is primary, the disambiguation page is placed at the base name.". No evidence that either topic is primary, so the disambiguation page is placed at the base name.

 * Hi Necro, Ajax, I see ja.wp has 6 Kozo Watanabe including these 2, evenly balanced in print sources, and a Kozo Watanabe (scholar) a culture, Chinese and woodblock scholar who also meets en.wp notability. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:22, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Further problem, I'm not sure some of the Google Book hits aren't for Kozo Watanabe (politician born 1942), this one is Kozo Watanabe (politician born 1932). In ictu oculi (talk) 02:20, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * In that case we should rename them Kozo Watanabe (Democratic Party politician) and Kozo Watanabe (Liberal Democratic Party politician), which is how we usually disambiguate politicians of different parties. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Support, but disambiguate further as suggested by Necrothesp. Peter&#160;James (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
