William "Bill" HanleyBill Hanley (pioneer) – William "Bill" Hanley is ambiguous, and the article notes the subject was commonly known as Bill, so a move to Bill Hanley with a disambiguator is appropriate. After the move, William "Bill" Hanley should be redirected to William Hanley (disambiguation) and incoming links fixed (which I'm happy to do if the closer pings me).

  • Support moving the article to Bill Hanley (rancher), as this is what is listed as his occupation. I don't think "pioneer" is what he did, I think it's being used as a way to describe him being an early rancher. I would suggest if possible deleting William "Bill" Hanley and fixing all links as appropriate rather than keeping as a redirect. I don't think having quotation marks in an article title of this nature is particularly ideal and doesn't serve any long-term benefit. Bungle (talkcontribs) 19:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom, happy with Bill Hanley (rancher) as well.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:00, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Bill Hanley (rancher). I don't think someone born in 1861 could really be described as a pioneer. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:27, 11 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
