The result of the move request was: moved. There is consensus to move: spelling diffs, primary topic, common name. – robertsky (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning towards support. I would say that the spelling differences between Nic(olas) Grigsby and Nicholas Grigsby are such that hatnotes are enough in this case. BegbertBiggs (talk) 12:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I agree with BegbertBiggs. (Also, Nic Grigsby played American football too, before his time in Canada.) Adumbrativus (talk) 08:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I added hatnotes. I would agree that if the common name of each player was "Nicolas and Nicholas" that hatnotes would suffice, but the "Nic" is what complicates it for me. I still think the following should happen:
Nic Grigsby should be a disambiguation page, with Nicholas Grigsby and Nicolas Grigsby redirecting to the disambiguation page (both names are so close in spelling and people often don't know how the name is supposed to be spelt, so it isn't clear who they are searching for). Hatnotes will then help if people accidentally navigate to the wrong person. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 01:41, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per COMMONNAME and PRIMARYTOPIC. That is, the COMMONNAME for the American is Nicholas Grisby and he’s the primary topic for that name. Likewise, the COMMONNAME for the Canadian is Nic Grisby and he’s the primary topic for that name. No disambiguation is necessary. Hatnotes are plenty to manage the occasional misfire. —В²C☎ 08:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
