Robert Barr → Robert Barr (disambiguation) – A number of fairly notable people have been called Robert Barr. There is no reason in particular this page should redirect to "Bob Barr", since he does not seem to be much more notable than some of the others. Bob Barr may be of US interest, but not particularly to folk outside the USA. MacRùsgail (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I believe what you actually want here is not just to retarget the redirect to the disambiguation page but rather move the disambiguation page to the primary position at Robert Barr. If that is the case, I'd support it. Bob Barr is the primary topic for "Bob Barr" but according to usage of the name "Robert Barr" he is not the primary for the page in question.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:23, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Inclined to Oppose, absent evidence of pageviews or other criteria showing that some other person on this page gets a fraction as much interest as "Bob Barr". bd2412  T 18:55, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I won't dispute that Bob Barr is the primary topic for that name but he is not often known as Robert Barr. Therefore,...


 * ...support per nom. —  AjaxSmack   03:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per Yaksar & AjaxSmack. The only sources in Bob Barr's article that call him "Robert Barr" are his Georgia Bar directory entry and a LexisNexis page. See also : the first page results are either Robert Barr (writer) or others about whom Wikipedia has no article, but none about Bob the U.S. politician. 61.10.165.33 (talk) 00:41, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
