Phil Willis → Phil Willis, Baron Willis of Knaresborough – Undiscussed move. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:35, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2pou (talk) 19:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Neveselbert: Queried move reuest.
Note regarding opening of discussion: The undiscussed move has been stable since 2015, and it was carried out per a technical request made here. -2pou (talk) 20:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the current title contradicts WP:NCPEER. This person is probably better known by his title, Lord Willis of Knaresborough. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:05, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There's no question which name is WP:COMMONNAME and it's not Baron Willis[1] (Lord Willis usually refers to a different guy). The bulk of coverage of Willis came while he was in substantive roles before his elevation to the mostly symbolic House of Lords. WP:NCPEER does not overrule the article titles policy (here WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME.) (t · c) buidhe 23:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No evidence that proposed title is most common name. Oppose by User:Born2cycle/Concision razor. —В²C ☎ 20:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
