Talk:Oliver Ryan

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Oliver Ryan (politician) → Oliver Ryan – He is now the only "Oliver Ryan" on Wikipedia. The other one was moved to "Ollie Ryan" last year. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 23:07, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Comment from the previous closer (this appeared in my notifications) I previously closed the related move but couldn't figure out why I left out the second part from my closing decision. I've expanded and added the timestamp for clarity, after re-reading the comments from the previous RM and the respective page history. I'll note the consensus at the time there preferred to maintain the basename as DAB page. I am indifferent to the outcome of this move. Thanks, and apologies for any confusion.

Support: With the different spellings of the two names, we can safely assume this is the WP:PRIMAYRTOPIC. I think this move could have just been made WP:BOLDly but I understand why you want to start a requested move when it is a somewhat major change. I think a hatnote to distinguish the two topics would be necessary on both pages. Qwerty123M (talk) 00:33, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
