– I find it implausible that the Australian politician who lead a relatively minor political party is the primary topic of this common combination of given name and surname. I propose to move the disambiguation page, Bill Moss to the title, expand it to cover "William or Bill" names, and add this title and the other two currently perched in the hatnote of this page.

 * William Moss → William Moss (Australian politician)
 * Bill Moss → William Moss
 * Support, except that I might suggest William Moss (grazier) for this page as he never actually held elected office (not that that's required for a politician, but it's how our main source describes him). Frickeg (talk) 07:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support (both grazier and Australian politician are fine), as this article is not the primary topic (definitely not so by page views) and Bill and William are synonymous.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 10:30, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes but the combined disambiguation page will have 3 Williams, 4 Bills and 1 Billy, so shouldn't a "William or Bill" page really be a "Bill or William" page at Bill? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:44, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think (and I may be wrong) that our tendency as a project is to have the page at the more formal name (William, Robert, David) with the shorter form redirected there. BD2412  T 18:26, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
