Paul Holmes (Eastleigh MP) → ? – He now represents a different constituency, which might necessitate a change in disambiguation. Killuminator (talk) 21:07, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support a move to "Paul Holmes (Conservative politician)", which is the least problematic and most consistent with how we title these sort of articles. (It's not completely unknown for politicians to change party, but less common than changing constituency or other status.) PatGallacher (talk) 00:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support Paul Holmes (Conservative politician) per normal practice and also retitle Paul Holmes (Chesterfield MP) to Paul Holmes (Liberal Democrat politician). -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support both - I've also thrown a notification at Talk:Paul_Holmes_(Chesterfield_MP)#Requested_move. Waggers TALK 14:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I believe we have room for a snow close now. The other page can be moved too. Killuminator (talk) 13:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
