On 15 June 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Chris Elliot (RAF officer) to Chris Elliot. The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move 15 June 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. General consensus that a dab page is not necessary, and that a hatnote is sufficient. (non-admin closure) Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 03:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Elliot (RAF officer) → Chris Elliot – The only other subject with an exactly matching name has been deleted via AfD. I think any potentially ambiguous topics can be added to Christopher Elliott and resolved with a hatnote. BD2412 T 01:07, 15 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} (please mention me on reply) 03:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Very common misspelling for actor/comedian Chris Elliott. If anything, "Chris Elliot" (one "t") should be a redirect towards Chris Elliott; compare to the recent move request for Courtney Cox. Steel1943 (talk) 02:47, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A hatnote is fine to resolve the above issue. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Agree that a hatnote between the two articles is enough to resolve the misspelling. I don't think the Courteney Cox RM is comparable due to WP:ONEOTHER. WPscatter ^t/_c 16:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Never knew WP:ONEOTHER existed until now, but after reading it ... I would say that citing WP:ONEOTHER as a reason to support or oppose a proposal without context is as useful as citing WP:SMALLDETAILS without context: Both of these guidelines could be used to support or oppose their basic premise without explaining why one side of the guideline is preferred over the other, and I don't see any such context here. Steel1943 (talk) 22:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Necrothesp, WPscatter and Ortizesp. There are ten bulleted entries listed upon the Christopher Elliott disambiguation page, with standalone main title headers for Christy Elliott, Christy Elliot and Christie Elliott. Thus, a standalone header indicating simply Chris Elliot, with an explanatory hatnote, would likewise be the more intuitive resolution for the dab page's sole female listing. The Chris elliot redirect, which currently flows to Chris Elliott should be either repositioned to the RAF officer or deleted. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:19, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
