Varadkar ought to redirect to Leo Varadkar, who is on course to become the next Taoiseach. Per WP:2DABS, a surname page is not needed. --Nevé–selbert 14:23, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
- Straightforward keep per WP:APONOTE. 2DABS doesn't apply as this is an anthroponymy page, not a dab. – Uanfala (talk) 10:12, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Pretty obvious. There's no primary topic. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:15, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- I think there definitely is a case for the Irish politician being the primary topic for "Varadkar": last year his article received 15x more pageviews than the actress [1] [2]. – Uanfala (talk) 10:22, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Uanfala: Would it be wiser if I closed this discussion, and open a move discussion instead? Thanks for clarifying 2DABS, which had me confused.--Nevé–selbert 07:45, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- Neve-selbert, given that there have been no support !votes so far, it'll be alright if you withdraw your nomination, though some would consider it better if after you've withdrawn it you let an uninvolved editor formally close it. One tip: when you start the RM, it's good to be explicit that you're also proposing for Varadkar to become a redirect to Leo Varadkar. – Uanfala (talk) 10:30, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- OK thanks.--Nevé–selbert 14:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
