Fred Grant → Fred Grant (cricketer) – Frederick Dent Grant was known as "Fred Grant" as well in his younger days and he is named as such in American Civil War literature. Between Frederick Dent Grant, this Fred Grant, and Fred Grant (gridiron football), we have three Fred Grants with no clear primary topic. I think the base title ought to be a disambiguation page here. Hog Farm Talk 19:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support I agree that a disambiguation page is a logical choice here. Even ignoring Frederick Dent Grant, there is no clear primary topic between the footballer and the cricketer. Harrias (he/him) • talk 08:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support as no clear primary topic, so dab page at Fred Grant is the sensible solution. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:20, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Harrias and Joseph2302: - I was just thinking - Frederick Grant is a redirect. That might be a better home for the dab page than Fred Grant, and Fred Grant could point to the new dab page at Frederick Grant as a redirect; like how Bob Smith redirects to the dab page Robert Smith.

- Makes sense to me. Harrias (he/him) • talk 16:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Also fine by me, dab at either Fred or Frederick is fine by me. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

- Support Redirect to Frederick Grant, which then becomes the dab page. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support the cricketer has 40 views and the gridiron footballer has 29 but Frederick Dent Grant has 3,911[[1]] so even if only a few people who were looking for Dan used "Fred" its unlikely the cricketer would be primary. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nomination, Harrias, Joseph2302, Rugbyfan22 and Crouch, Swale. Likewise support creation of a disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:20, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
