Jean Kelly (disambiguation) → Jean Kelly – The actress' stage name is not "Jean Kelly", but Jean Louisa Kelly per her website, IMDb, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Twitter, etc. No need for redirecting Jean Kelly to Jean Louisa Kelly when it can serve as the dab page base name. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:57, 21 October 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.

Oppose. Given she's the only person by that name with an article, I think it's perfectly reasonable that she's a primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There is no "Jean Kelly" with an article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:06, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shhhnotsoloud, Jean Louisa Kelly is also sometimes credited just as Jean Kelly [1] lots of Google matches came up. Adding confusion to this is that many people are probably misspelling Gene Kelly, who's, as far as I'm aware, better known than the actress. Boleyn (talk) 05:48, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Boleyn: Thanks. I think a disambiguation page at the base name is the way to go. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No clear primary topic for the title (especially with people with similar names). The safest bet is moving the disambiguation page to the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 12:49, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If I'm reading this right, even though the most common name for this actress uses her middle name she remains the only notable topic referred by this name too, and therefore this would not be a helpful move for readers.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:17, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support – disambiguation serves better here. Dicklyon (talk) 03:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Necrothesp. Calidum 13:44, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Jean Kelly works like it should as a PRIMARYREDIRECT. P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 02:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jean Kelly (disambiguation) → Jean Kelly – The actress' stage name is not simply "Jean Kelly", but Jean Louisa Kelly per her website, IMDb, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Twitter, etc. No need for redirecting Jean Kelly to Jean Louisa Kelly when it can serve as the dab page base name. Anyone searching for her as "Jean Kelly" or for Jeanne Kelly, the early stage name of actress Jean Brooks, or even users who might mistype Gene Kelly as "Jean Kelly", will find all those links directly upon the proposed Jean Kelly dab page without having to go through Jean Louisa Kelly. Four years and eight months ago, above, there were four "support" votes and four "oppose", resulting in "no consensus". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Support. Goes by Jean Louisa Kelly, so Jean Kelly works best as disambiguation not as a redirect. RedPatch (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose similar to WP:SONGDAB the others are only mentioned at the targets while the acrtess has an entrie article and many people won't use middle names when searching because they aren't normally used in the real world. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. If any of the others were at all notable I'd agree given she always seems to be billed under her full name, but they're just not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: WikiProject Disambiguation, WikiProject Biography, and WikiProject Anthroponymy have been notified of this discussion. Reading Beans 02:48, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not hurting anything, given the other topics are not notable. While the actress is always billed in full, it's not uncommon for sources to shorten it (just try "jean kelly" "uncle buck" in Google Books or something). Nohomersryan (talk) 02:37, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The other topics are likely search terms. Navigation will be improved by this proposed move, thus improving Wikipedia. Andrewa (talk) 07:42, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
