 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: moved. No objections as proposed. There was support to use YOB as a disambiguator, but as there is no YOB sourced for either of these, consensus appears to be in favor of these as proposed.

– It's unclear whether these titles refer to state-level positions or federal ones. I would suggest to drop "Alabama" since it serves no disambiguation purpose, but that idea wasn't popular in Talk:Paul Anderson (Minnesota state senator). Necrothesp may have a better idea. Additionally, it's worth noting that we don't have a birth year for the representative. If someone can find his birth year, then let's do for both of them. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:00, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Phil Williams (Alabama representative) → Phil Williams (Alabama state representative)
 * Phil Williams (Alabama senator) → Phil Williams (Alabama state senator)
 * Comment. Difficult one. I'd actually advocate moving to Phil Williams (American politician, born XXXX) (if we don't need to disambiguate between politician from different states, we usually just use "American"), but unfortunately we don't have a YOB for the representative as stated above. If we can find his YOB then I'd support that; if we can't then the proposed titles may be the best. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, Phil Williams (American politician, born XXXX) is better, if the missing birth year can be identified (and sourced). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:44, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I support the American politician, born XXXX better since it is already in use in other situations. Better for consistency. cookie monster   755  00:23, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
