Arthur David Eyton-Jones → Arthur Eyton-Jones – I've decided the disambiguation page for Arthur Eyton-Jones is unnecessary. Also, I wanted to have consistency with pages linked to this one. So could we remove the disambiguation page and change the page name as requested Goblin Roger House (talk) 18:14, 25 October 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

@Goblin Roger House and SshibumXZ: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:14, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but, I don't think it's for you to decide, whilst you raise a very good point, I think a discussion may very well be in order here. Also, by the way, please add new requests below the existing ones in the future. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 18:27, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, yes, it did say I needed to put it to administrators. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Also sorry for adding the request above rather than below, a schoolboy error!Goblin Roger House (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable points

1. It is stated "soon after the outbreak of World War II David was asked to return to Monkton Combe School to take part in Home Guard duties." I don't know what people call soon, but I feel the word does not really apply to him as the Home Guard were not formed until the summer of 1940.

2. It says introduction he was inter alia a chaplain, and that in retirement he was Chaplain of Chichester branch of the Royal Sussex Regimental Association. However, a chaplain is normally a priest but no mention he studied for orders, was ever ordained or performing other ecclesiastical duties.
