Sergeant Samuel Willard → Sergeant Simon Willard – The body of article names person as Simon Willard, not Samuel Willard. There is no move button. Conn!3Mack (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:17, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Conn!3Mack, 162 etc., and Lord Bolingbroke: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:21, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's unusual to include the military rank in the article title, no? 162 etc. (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OP is correct that the name is "Simon Willard"; however, there is already an article about this person at the proper title of Simon Willard (colonist). – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 02:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest Simon Willard (Connecticut colonist). Simon Willard (colonist) could be changed to Simon Willard (Massachusetts colonist). Facts707 (talk) 01:12, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Simon Willard (Connecticut colonist) and Simon Willard (Massachusetts colonist) as above. No rank needed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:10, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
