Ben Johnson → Benjamin JohnsonBenjamin Johnson – If all entries upon the lengthy Ben Johnson disambiguation page listed men named Benny or Ben Johnson, the main title header should indeed be "Ben Johnson". However, seven among the men listed there are named "Benjamin" and most dab pages that have a mix of full names and hypocorisms tend to use the full name as the main header, thus Ben Johnson should redirect to Benjamin Johnson, rather than Benjamin Johnson redirecting to Ben Johnson. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:27, 14 September 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.  veko.

• Oppose 20+ entries for "Ben" and only 7 for "Benjamin", the current title is correct. 162 etc. (talk) 18:23, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. The rationale is confused and has no basis in policy. For many of the "Ben" entries, we simply do not know for certain that their full name is Benjamin. Besides, if the more commonly used name is Ben, that is what the dab should be. 10:58, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. Having the dab page at "Ben" allows it to cover everyone who might be referred to by that name.--Srleffler (talk) 23:21, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. More Bens than Benjamins here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:39, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose, because majority of the titles contain Ben Johnson, while the minority contain Benjamin Johnson. Thanks, 1isall (talk | contribs) 01:15, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

  Should also point out that there are two Benny Johnsons. Thanks, 1isall (talk | contribs) 01:20, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
