Tom Hedley (footballer) → Tom Hedley – Sole entry in English Wikipedia that bears this exact main title header, thus obviating the need for the parenthetical qualifier "(footballer)". "Tom Hedley" is currently a redirect to the essayist and screenwriter Thomas Hedley who was occasionally credited as "Tom Hedley", but a hatnote atop the footballer's entry would suffice. Alternatively, a Tom Hedley disambiguation page could be created. It would list Thomas Hedley [or Tom Hadley (screenwriter)], Thomas Hedley Co. and Tom Hedley (footballer). If consensus would prefer the dab page to named Thomas Hedley, then the entries would be Thomas Hedley (screenwriter) [or Tom Hadley (screenwriter) or simply Tom Hedley], Thomas Hedley Co. and Tom Hedley (footballer). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose irrelevant stub, leave as is. But target the redirect to the more notable as now, or to Tom Hedley (disambiguation) not sure which better. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, nothing to indicate the footballer is the primary topic. Tom Hedley should redirect to Thomas Hedley (disambiguation). 162 etc. (talk) 19:27, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Thomas Hedley gets 170 views, Thomas Hedley Co. gets 187 and Thomas Hedley Reynolds gets 38 compared to only 12[[1]] for this one so even if only a few people use "Tom" rather than "Thomas" for the others its unlikely that there would be a primary topic similar to Talk:Willie Foster (gridiron football)#Requested move 15 March 2021. I would agree with targeting Tom Hedley to the DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:54, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
