Walter Chisholm → Walter Chisholm (cricketer) – Well my knowledge of cricket and cricket players is basically next to none, I can tell you this is not a primary topic, should be moved while the new primary should be a disambiguation page.

Support per nomination. The two-sentence stub for the cricketer would be more intuitively positioned as a disambiguation page listing Walter Scott Chisholm as well as Walter Chisholm (cricketer). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:42, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Support the cricketer has 7 views but Scott has 16[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:43, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. There is no clear primary subject; the daily page views for both articles are in single figures prior to the move discussion. The article titles are already unambiguous, and anyone arriving at Walter Chisholm looking for the Georgia lawyer will be redirected via the hatnote. Instituting a disambiguation page will not get anyone to the lawyer's page any quicker. Paora (talk) 09:56, 6 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Relisting comment: Opportunity for response to Paora. Some evidence that Walter Scott Chisholm was known as simply "Walter Chisholm" would be useful. –Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley $\lor$ investigateᛅ} 11:49, 7 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
