The request to rename this article to David O'Keefe (historian) has been carried out.

David O'Keefe (author) → David O'Keefe (historian) – David O'Keefe (historian) erroneously moved to David O'Keefe (, which was mistakenly moved to David O'Keefe (author). KeeferCeltic (talk) 20:47, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- Not sure how author got into the Disambiguation, but Mr. O'Keefe is primarily a historian. That brings up an interesting point though, why is David O'Keefe (the Irish-American politician) the primary topic? A quick Google Search, and the first results have nothing to do with the Irish politician. I know that my comment has nothing to do with this requested move, but I think that David O'Keefe should be a disambiguation page pointing to people with that name. Just my suggestion. Cheers!

Support -- concur with User_talk:CookieMonster755 suggestion for disambiguation David O'Keefe (Irish-American politician) precedence. The article David O'Keefe (historian)/(author) propose to be primary article for David O'Keefe . A move recommendation for David O'Keefe (Irish-American politician) be made indicating disambiguation. All this notwithstanding the errors to article move as indicated this Talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obltkg4 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- It makes sense to rename this page into "David O'Keefe (historian)". I also support the above argument that "David O'Keefe" page should be a disambiguation. --Dcirovic (talk) 13:54, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

@Dcirovic: I updated the redirect David R. O'Keefe, but feel free to make it a disambig if there are more David O'Keefes to disambiguate. Dicklyon (talk) 22:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
