Thomas Lennon (screenwriter, born 1896) → Thomas L. Lennon – Per WP:NATURALDAB, policy based move; also per Talk:Thomas Lennon (documentary filmmaker) the date based disambiguation is less that ideal. -- 67.70.35.17 (talk) 06:09, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Station1:
Oppose no evidence given that L. is part of the WP:COMMONNAME, the year is really helpful. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Move to Thomas Lennon (screenwriter), the rest of the disambiguation is unnecessary. Fortdj33 (talk) 15:53, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Comment he isn't the only screenwriter by this name, so that is a failure of WP:PRECISE since it isn't precise enough to disambiguate between multiple screenwriters. Thus the disambiguator is necessary. The primary topic article covers a person that is also a screenwriter -- 67.70.35.17 (talk) 05:30, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. This is a difficult one owing to the fact that Thomas Lennon the actor and comedian is also notable as a screenwriter. The current disambiguation is the best yet suggested. Andrewa (talk) 11:36, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
