Ella Gaunt Smith was known by the full name and also as Ella Smith. As her first name was Ella and her surname was Smith, this dab is necessary. Boleyn (talk) 19:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A dab is not necessary for only two people. The Ella Gaunt Smith article is at "Ella Gaunt Smith". A dab notice (For the doll maker see Ella Gaunt Smith) can be placed at the top of the actress article. Bradley0110 (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It could, but there is no evidence of a primary topic here. Both have roughly the same (small) number of links. According to WP:MOSDAB:

Disambiguation pages with only two entries. Some disambiguation pages with "(disambiguation)" in the title list only two meanings [which doesn't apply here], one of them being the primary meaning. In such cases, the disambiguation page is not strictly necessary, but is harmless. The recommended practice is to use a hatnote on the article for the primary meaning to link directly to the secondary meaning. If neither of the two meanings is primary, then a normal disambiguation page should be used. As there is only a difference of about 2 in terms of pages linking, there is no clear primary topic.
