Requested move 31 December 2015
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Reasonable suggestions all around, but no agreement at all and the discussions appears to have died off. Jenks24 (talk) 07:35, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
– This is a natural disambiguation between two sports people both known as Kelly Morgan. I think COMMONNAME is borderline regarding the badminton player; recent sources are referring to her as Aston,[1] as does her employer[2] and her own LinkedIn page,[3] but most sources are about her badminton career and pre-date the name change, so I think the balance there comes down to how much extra weight the more recent sources get. However, given COMMONNAME and NCDAB, I think balance tips in favour of the move. But I'm not sure, hence proposing the move rather than just going ahead and making it.
COI note: the boxer and javelin throwing Kelly Morgan is a family friend, although I haven't talked to her or indeed anyone else about the edits I've been making to her Wikipedia article.
Possibly relevant to the discussion: Aston didn't immediately take her husband's name on marriage – they married in 2002 but there are newspaper reports from after the marriage still referring to her as Morgan.[4]

- Comment the second one will definitely need to move, since they are both "athletes" (even under UK English) -- Kelly Morgan (badminton) and Kelly Morgan (English athlete) would work -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 10:01, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. No need for the move. The badminton player is probably better-known and is really only known under her maiden name, since that's the name she used when she was winning championships. Incidentally, no British person I've ever heard would refer to a badminton player as an "athlete"; that only refers to people who take part in athletics. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
- Third option: dab page primary, I fail to see the 'rather overwhelming' primary topic. Visitor statistics for both articles are almost the same, and Google search hits are balanced. So it seems more logical to create a dab page, and make it primary. On the naming, I agree with Necrothesp. Athlete is primarily for athletics, a boxer should just be called ... boxer. --Midas02 (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced "Kelly Morgan (boxer)" is correct; Morgan is also known for being a javelin thrower, and I think that's what she's primarily known for – all the national press coverage of her is primarily relating to her javelin career, and while she may start picking up more mainstream coverage of her boxing, that hasn't happened yet. If we're going to stick with parenthetical disambiguation for the javelin throwing/boxing Morgan, I wonder if basing it off nationality (English vs Welsh) or year of birth is going to be the simplest option. —me_and 17:16, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
