The result of the move request was: moved. Previous title redirected to dab page. Jenks24 (talk) 08:30, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel L. M. Barlow → Samuel L. M. Barlow II – He was named after his grandfather, Samuel L. M. Barlow I. WP:COMMONNAMES discourages ambiguous and inaccurate names, even when commonly used. This title may be no exception. As for primacy, I am not convinced that he is more popular or significant in a long term than his grandfather, but I don't think his grandfather is other way around either. Current title must redirect to Sam Barlow (disambiguation). George Ho (talk) 02:12, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support George Ho's argument is quite persuasive and quite correct, in my opinion. --ceradon 06:14, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if this isn't moved, the target should become a redirect. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:42, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
