Lewis Foster → Lewis Foster (rugby league)
Lewis R. Foster → Lewis Foster

– A two in one here! Originally I was just going to suggest that the primary become a DAB page, but seeing that Lewis R. Foster had actually a notable career, at least compared to the younger Lewis Foster, so I think both should move! Sirlink2222 (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Neutral 1, oppose 2. COMMONNAME for the filmmaker indeed appears to be "Lewis R. Foster". 162 etc. (talk) 22:12, 30 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
True, though there are only 2 on Wikipedia which is why I brought that one up. Sirlink2222 (talk) 22:13, 30 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Support Lewis Foster → Lewis Foster (rugby league) per nomination and oppose Lewis R. Foster → Lewis Foster per 162 etc. Although the director was occasionally credited as "Lewis Foster", the majority of his credits were billed as "Lewis R." Both men should be listed upon a Lewis Foster disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:18, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Support 1st, the rugby league player has 30 views but R has 275[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:06, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
