Martha Nelson → Martha Nelson (swimmer) – Not the primary topic over Martha Nelson Thomas who could also be referred to as "Martha Nelson". * Pppery * it has begun... 22:20, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It's not clear why Martha Nelson Thomas would be referred to as Martha Nelson, but in any case, there's already a hatnote on Martha Nelson that does everything a dab page would do. Station1 (talk) 23:53, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. The two-sentence stub for Martha Nelson (swimmer) is not primary over the article delineating the creator of "Doll Babies". To quote from "'Custody' fight over Cabbage Patch dolls", "Before Roberts was selling his dolls, Mrs. Thomas (then Martha Nelson) was selling her version." Furthermore, databases such as olympics.com list the swimmer, who was born in 1954, four years after the doll creator, as Martha Nelson-Grant. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * In that case, maybe this article should be moved to Martha Nelson-Grant. - Station1 (talk) 07:28, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * No objection to moving to Martha Nelson-Grant instead of Martha Nelson (swimmer) * Pppery * it has begun... 16:58, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I would likewise support the alternative option Martha Nelson → Martha Nelson-Grant. Since both women achieved initial notability under their birth name — "Martha Nelson" — the creation of a Martha Nelson disambiguation page listing Martha Nelson Thomas as well as Martha Nelson-Grant would seem to be the most intuitive solution. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:17, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
