Nicholas Grigsby (American football) → Nicholas Grigsby – unnecessary disambiguation Joeykai (talk) 00:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 02:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. I suspect the purpose was to disambiguate with Nic Grigsby. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate, no primary topic. Move Nic Grigsby to Nic Grigsby (Canadian football) and then disambiguate Nic Grigsby with Nic Grigsby (Canadian football) and Nicholas Grigsby (American football) on the page. Redirect Nicholas Grigsby to Nic Grigsby. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 14:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Note that the Canadian one is Nicolas Grigsby, without an "h". -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Leaning towards support. I would say that the spelling differences between Nic(olas) Grigsby and Nicholas Grigsby are such that hatnotes are enough in this case. BegbertBiggs (talk) 12:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. I agree with BegbertBiggs. (Also, Nic Grigsby played American football too, before his time in Canada.) Adumbrativus (talk) 08:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I added hatnotes. I would agree that if the common name of each player was "Nicolas and Nicholas" that hatnotes would suffice, but the "Nic" is what complicates it for me. I still think the following should happen:
 * Nic Grigsby (Canadian football) and Nicholas Grigsby (American football) should be the 2 article titles (this provides a good differentiation between the two, since neither is the clear primary topic for any variation of "Nic Grigsby")
 * Nic Grigsby should be a disambiguation page, with Nicholas Grigsby and Nicolas Grigsby redirecting to the disambiguation page (both names are so close in spelling and people often don't know how the name is supposed to be spelt, so it isn't clear who they are searching for). Hatnotes will then help if people accidentally navigate to the wrong person. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 01:41, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per COMMONNAME and PRIMARYTOPIC. That is, the COMMONNAME for the American is Nicholas Grisby and he’s the primary topic for that name. Likewise, the COMMONNAME for the Canadian is Nic Grisby and he’s the primary topic for that name. No disambiguation is necessary. Hatnotes are plenty to manage the occasional misfire. —В²C ☎ 08:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per Disambiguation. Nicholas is primary for spelling with an h, Nic is primary for spelling as 'Nic', but both is a reasonable search term for the other. So, put both at their primary names with hatnotes to the other. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
