Christopher Dunn (computer enthusiast) → ?? – "Computer enthusiast" is not a disambiguator that we normally use, though I don't know what the article title should be instead. Natg 19 (talk) 19:17, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how useful it is to open this discussion without a specific target in mind. Dunn is notable (i.e., attracted national media coverage) for two things: his hobbyist programming, and his hobbyist involvement with the CompuServe CB Simulator which led to an online romance and marriage. Of course he has held various day jobs, none of which are defining characteristics, so I don't see how they could be used as disambiguators. His year of birth is uncertain so that's probably a bad idea also. Dropping the disambiguation altogether is also out, because there are several other people who go by "Christopher Dunn" or "Chris Dunn", at least two of whom have articles (or at least redirects). —Psychonaut (talk) 20:20, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This proposed target sounds good to me. I endorse this proposal. Natg 19 (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
