• Ernest Alexander → Ernest Alexander (VC)
• Ernest Alexander (disambiguation) → Ernest Alexander

– No indication that the ten-sentence entry delineating the Great War Victoria Cross recipient is primary over the combined notability of the politician stub and two WP:DABMENTIONS at the Ernest Alexander (disambiguation) page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:10, 17 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} (please mention me on reply) 03:53, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose. He wasn't just a VC, but a general with two other honours that meet the criteria of WP:ANYBIO #1. Much more notable than the obscure politician who held a seat for six years and two others who are so obscure they don't even have articles and probably never will. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:03, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. Necrothesp makes a good point. From the perspective of page views the status quo is fine (). Also note that this article was significantly expanded after the start of the RM. Adumbrativus (talk) 03:10, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
