Move Request
User:WHArchives/William Willet → William Willet &mdash; I have attempted to move my User:WHArchives/William Willet subpage page into the "live" Wikipedia space and rename it to William Willet. However, when I tried to move it, and rename it William Willet (because it is now a user page) I was unable to. WHArchives (talk) 21:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

A message in red came up explaining that there is another article with the same name. (This was not so when I created my William Willet user page.) I searched for the Wikipedia "William Willet" page, clicked on it and was directed to William Willett, Jr.. This article was originally "William Willet" (one "t") and renamed "William Willett, Jr." (double T) because (I assume) it was mistakenly named "William Willet" in the first place. Because this is the title of an historic individual I do not see how I can name my article anything else but "William Willet". ALSO, there is another article entitled: William Willett (double t). This is all rather confusing. Will it be possible to grant my request. Thank you for your help. WHArchives (talk) 21:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * See WP:Disambiguation; we may want to call this page something like William Willet (artist); perhaps move the congressman; and make disambiguation pages and headnotes so readers can navigate between them. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 12:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The surnames are spelled differently, so that doesn't seem necessary. Perhaps there should be a William Willett (disambiguation) page, since there are three of them, but from this article a hatnote pointing there for people who have the wrong spelling should suffice.

 * Update: I've created the dab page and put a hatnote on William Willett. Station1 (talk) 21:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I have renamed the article "William Willet (artist)" based on your recommendation. WHArchives (talk) 14:25, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
