@Ortizesp: The only one I can see is Tom Watt (actor), who is most commonly known as Tom not Thomas. Sahaib3005 (talk) 13:58, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Unlikely this move would be justified solely on the basis of there being no other articles of the same name, as those articles obviously exist and "Tom" and "Tommy" are just shorthand for "Thomas" as Ortizep says (for example the obituary at the Tommy Watt article gives his birthname as Thomas Watt).
A move might have validity if it was demonstrated that Thomas Watt (politician) was the primary topic - ie that The politician's article is highly likely to be what anyone is searching for when they look for "Thomas Watt" and/or the politician Thomas Watt has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term. This is at least possible given the other Thomas Watt's didn't routinely use the formal name, but this discussion would probably need some evidence that this was the case. -- Euryalus (talk) 22:56, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DrKay:, the page has just been created, so I don’t think comparing page views is a valid point Sahaib3005 (talk) 08:46, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
