Alice Cullen (politician) → Alice Cullen – This person was a member of the UK Parliament for 21 years, she should be treated as the primary meaning, as she is more notable than a fictional character who does not even have her own article, she should be dealt with by a hatnote.

• Support. Makes sense. The politician is clearly the more significant of the two. Egsan Bacon (talk) 21:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose sorry, I'm in complete sympathy with how things ought to be, but look in Google Books :( In ictu oculi (talk) 11:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Generally we prioritise real people over fictitious people unless the fictitious person is overwhelmingly well-known. And that doesn't include relatively minor characters from teeny books and films. Especially those that don't even have their own articles. A hatnote is perfectly sufficient.

• Support. Necrothesp is right: if someone named Harry Potter got elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives (one of four hundred legislators, each representing 3,300 people; passing WP:POLITICIAN but still quite minor), or if someone named Vito Corleone became one of the Captains Regent of San Marino, we wouldn't suddenly suggest that the same-named fictional characters would have to be moved. However, a long-term national legislator in a major English-speaking country is far above New Hampshire state representatives and Sammarinese leaders, and one of the redirects to List of Twilight characters is far below Harry Potter and Vito Corleone.
