The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Dab page deleted and the three pages distinguished through "Steve", "Stephen" and "Steven". This arrangement was suggested by Jamacfarlane and agreed to by the nominator, so has a rough consensus. Necrothesp's point that Steve is also Stephen is valid, but he doesn't seem to be primary for Stephen so hatnotes will take case of everything else. — Amakuru (talk) 21:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

– Neither of the others are called Steve. Unreal7 (talk) 11:25, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support and also propose: Stephen McCabe (councillor) → Stephen McCabe. jamacfarlane (talk) 02:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
- Clarify: I support Steve McCabe (politician) → Steve McCabe, but support deleting the DAB page as there is a Steve, a Stephen and a Steven. I would put hatnotes on the two politicians, though. jamacfarlane (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support first. Appears to be true. However, Steve McCabe's full name is also Stephen. Therefore move Steve McCabe to Stephen McCabe, as two out of three have that name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:28, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
- I propose instead deleting the DAB page and moving Steve McCabe (politician) to Steve McCabe. I take your point about using the full name in the lead paragraph (discussion elsewhere), but the WP:COMMONNAME for the article title is "Steve" not "Stephen" so there is no need to disambiguate. I have already added hatnotes to the two articles. jamacfarlane (talk) 17:33, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
  - I agree. Unreal7 (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
