Anthony Blair → Anthony Blair (disambiguation) – Anthony Blair should redirect to Tony Blair, with a corresponding hatnote at the prime minister's article. Given that William Clinton redirects to Bill Clinton (despite there being a couple of other "William Clinton"s at William Clinton (disambiguation)), I am pretty certain that Prime Minister Blair is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as much as William Clinton is for Bill Clinton. The American criminal is pretty obscure compared to the ex-British PM and has only received less than a dozen views in the past month, in contrast to the ex-PM who has received several thousand. There is evidently a primary topic in sight here. --Nevé –selbert 19:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support: A hatnote at Tony Blair is a sensible idea, although sadly it met with opposition from one user when I added one some time ago. This is Paul (talk) 22:34, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Anthony Blair to Tony Blair and add hatnote {{redirect|Anthony Blair|the 19th-century American criminal|Anthony Blair (criminal)}}, then delete useless two-dabs dab page. The ex-PM is primary topic for his full name. PamD 10:56, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Antony Blair ~~currently redirects~~ redirected to Tony Blair, not helping anyone who mis-spells the criminal. I've just amended it to point to the dab page for now. PamD 11:01, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I was all ready to go along with PamD's suggestion to delete, but found another entry, so it's no longer just two dabs.— Gorthian (talk) 23:11, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the barely notable criminal, and no evidence that J. Anthony Blair is known as simply Anthony Blair. Zarcadia (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:14, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
