Requested move 5 April 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Jamie Davis will be redirected to James Davis for the time being. Any potential split in the disambiguation page may take place under WP:BRD as usual. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Davis → Jamie Davis (actor) – No indication that the actor Jamie Davis has higher notability than Jamie Davis (musician). The base name Jamie Davis should redirect to the all-inclusive James Davis disambiguation page which also includes Jim Davis and Jimmy Davis. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate and rename this one to the (actor) page. Jamie is different enough from James. It can also have the entry for Jamie Davis Motor Trucking, the company that was the subject of the documentary series Highway Thru Hell. The main person there Jamie Davis can also redirect to that series. James Davis (disambiguation) can be added at the end. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and there's a Jamie Davis in Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:15, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It may be noted that the introductory line at Jamie states that "[I]t is a diminutive form of James..." Furthermore, the entry for Jamie Davis (musician) starts with, "James Lee Davis III (born September 3, 1983) is an American..." As for the actor, it is mentioned here, "Nickname Jim". Whether that nickname indicates that he was christened "James" is undetermined. It is also possible that some Jims and Jimmys were actually christened "Jim" or "Jimmy" and not "James". However, they are all gathered under "James". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:50, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
