William Fishbaugh

Only two people listed and I could not find any others. Since William A is the only one with an article, it should point to him and a hatnote added.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 21:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Even a hatnote would be an overkill. The defender of the Alamo is clearly not notable but will show up in searches. So basically, I think this should return to the redirect I created 3 year ago. Pichpich (talk) 22:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Only one with an article solely on them isn't necessarily relevant - you would need to establish that William A. was the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, with evidence. A hatnote would be useful if WIlliam A. was found to be the primary. Boleyn (talk) 17:46, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep: two valid uses, no indication which one is primary: a hatnote to William A on the Alamo page would be messy; status quo looks fine. Pam  D  18:10, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I converted the redirect to List of Alamo defenders to this dab page as in my judgment there was not a strong case for either being primary i.e one is part of a referenced list, the other is not known only as William Fishbaugh. If the article was William Fishbaugh (photographer) I would probably have moved it to the undabbed name and added a hatnote (see e.g. Justin Bailey). Tassedethe (talk) 00:49, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
