William Foley (disambiguation) → William Foley – Move requested in line with WP:DABNAME however a page name with this name currently exists and despite renaming, still redirects to William Foley (linguist). Rangasyd (talk) 01:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete this page and all the other Foley dab pages recently created in lieu of the "name" page being a dabpage: see History on Foley (surname), which I reverted once, but did not do so again when the otehr editor reverted me. This applies to Thomas Foley and several more.  This seems to have arisen as a result of an officious trying to apply rules inappropriately.  When there is no Primary Subject, it is (or should be) acceptable for the main page to be a dab page.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:02, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, or maybe fix as Peter describes if that's better. But the nom should also express a willingness to go through and fix the 14 or so linguistic articles that treat the linguist as primarytopic for William Foley, else their links will be broken.

 * Comment, I'm happy to correct the broken links to William Foley (linguist). Rangasyd (talk) 08:33, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Support as there does not appear to be a primary topic. I don't understand what Peterkingiron is proposing, but an examination of the edit history at Foley (surname) suggests he may be confused. older ≠ wiser 20:03, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
