Olek → Crocheted Olek – We have a pile of hatnotes indicating there are other "Olek" topics, including multiple people with that as their first or last name and also a place. I don't think that this artist is WP:PRIMARYNAME, but instead should be moved to a more specific article-title and leave a disambiguation page here. Lede says she's " known professionally as Crocheted Olek", so that is a natural-disambig choice for her page. DMacks (talk) 14:32, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Support: This topic seems relatively obscure (about 17 views per day, some of which may be accidental due to the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC naming of the article) and as the article says, the artist is "known professionally as Crocheted Olek" (see, e.g., the titles shown here and here), and there are several other notable Oleks. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:49, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Move: Proposing changing article name to "Olek"
I would like to request changing the name of this article to "Olek" instead of "Crocheted Olek." The artist is not professionally known as "Crocheted Olek," but just as "Olek," which can be demonstrated through multiple reputable sources, including the New York Times and The New Yorker.

Crocheted Olek → Olek (artist) – Known professionally as "Olek", not "Crocheted Olek", per the above section. Zanimum moved the article twice without discussion. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Subject's own website, which is appended to the article, depicts this artist's professional name as simply "Olek", not "Crocheted Olek". "Crocheted" has, indeed, been used a number of times as Olek's descriptive adjective, but the single name "Olek" as the actual professional name is also confirmed by links which reference her. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 04:05, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support, obviously. As the person who created the article, I'm not sure why I didn't choose the artist suffix from the start. She was using the nickname early on, but ever since moving to the United States many years ago, it has been simply "Olek". --  Zanimum (talk) 22:22, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Reading through the logs, I see that I named it simply Olek, with no suffix. But a user above proposed moving the article in December and no one contested it. I was simply following the Wikipedia editing motto of "be bold". --  Zanimum (talk) 22:25, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
