John M. Fox

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No primary topic; both of the links on the disambiguation page are redirects to other articles with similar titles. Propose putting hatnotes on both of those articles and redirecting this link to a different disambiguation page.


 * Keep (creator of page). This is one of several pages created to cover the case where a red link exists to a topic that is probably notable (that is to say, will have an article one day), and an existing article on a different subject exists under a very similar name.  Here we had a redlinked 19th century US politician (John M. Fox) and a 20th century UK politician (John Marcus Fox).  Having gone to the effort of establishing that they are similarly-named but distinct subjects, creating a disambig page seemed the natural way to record this fact.  There is some relevant discussion about having separate disambig pages for people with differing middle names at User talk:Boleyn.  - TB (talk) 17:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect ome has an article but it doesn't mention him ever being known as John M. Fox and the other is only mentioned on WP once, on a list page. Unless an article is created on the mayor, this should probably redirect to Marcus Fox with hatnote to mayor list. Boleyn (talk) 21:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 15:01, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
