We discussed this at WP:RFD and it WP:SNOWballed as a retarget to the DAB at Matthew Mahoney. That is fine but I think wearing WP:TWOHATS we can just hatnote one to the other, which also should save us a disambiguation on one or the other but I assume neither is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. But I will do the crosslinks after listing this cos someone else, if they disagree, can take em out. It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive. Si Trew (talk) 08:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Note - Si Trew closed the Rfd discussion himself; his close was subsequently reverted. However, that discussion seems to have little to do with this one. This discussion was originally at Articles for deletion/Matt Mahoney but I moved it here for the benefit of the tools that automatically detect these things. Also worth noting is that Articles for deletion/Matt Mahoney (2nd nomination) exists, which I think is Si's good-faith error using the tool, and not meant to have been a separate discussion. This is the only time that this page has been nominated for deletion. My apologies (and on Si's behalf, unless he says otherwise) that this is confusing.

 * Keep - WP:TWODABS requires that one or the other is the primary topic for the title. I don't think either of these stubs can make that claim. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:47, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep No obvious candidate to be Primary Topic, so dab page is appropriate. Pam  D
 * Another note: one more error that I didn't catch. I have updated the links here to Matthew Mahoney which is the subject of this discussion. Matt Mahoney is still up at Rfd. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:43, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, it'll be three entries if we include Matt Mahoney as a WP:DABMENTION from PAQ. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:42, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Pretty clearly keep as there is no primary. Am I misunderstanding Si Trew or is he misunderstanding the guidelines? --Bejnar (talk) 18:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
