Untitled[edit]

As there are only three Benjamin Butlers who have articles on Wikipedia, I have merged the disambiguation pages for Ben and Benjamin Franklin. Redirects have been set up on the old pages. Boleyn (talk) 10:56, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Butler → Ben Butler (footballer) – Benjamin Butler and Benjamin Butler (artist) are also known by "Ben Butler" to some degree, with the general probably being the most common one. I don't know that there's a clear primary topic on the base name of Ben Butler, so this should probably be dabbed, with Ben Butler redirecting to the dab page. Hog Farm _Talk 02:51, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. The seven-sentence stub for the footballer known as "Ben Butler", who died in World War I combat and whose name was actually the currently redlinked Albert Victor Butler, is not primary for the name "Ben Butler", which should indeed redirect to the Benjamin Butler (disambiguation) page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support as not the primary topic, so we should redirect Ben Butler to Benjamin Butler (disambiguation). Joseph2302 (talk) 16:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 12:23, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support and agree with Joseph to redirect after move. Giant Snowman 12:25, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
