This is a fine mess, caused by the discovery that the first lady below has been misspelled in her article, and the second lady is not really that notable or actually known by the name Jeannette Lee.

While it ain't broke, there is some debate over the designation of the Rough Trade JL in that she also notable as a founding participant in Public Image Limited - IMHO optimally

  • Jeannette H. Lee could be moved to Jeannette H. Lee
  • Jeannette Lee (Rough Trade) can then become Jeannette Lee
  • Jeannette Lee (pool player) could then possibly become Jeanette Lee although it's possibly better to keep that as a disambig.

Any admin/AWB jockey care to take it on, and fix all those links to #1? Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:56, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is there consensus for a change in the primary topic of "Jeannette Lee"? WP:RM is probably appropriate here. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Didn't see this note until after I'd moved everything around. I think Jeannette Lee (Rough Trade) to Jeannette Lee, Jeanette Lee (pool player) to Jeanette Lee, plus some hatnotes would be sensible. Tassedethe (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 2 October 2017 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: Moved as proposed in nomination. Although looking at it, the dab page isn't needed any more, as it's basically a WP:TWODABS for "Jeannette".  — Amakuru (talk) 13:17, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Reply



– As the thread above notes, this is is a mess. First off, "Jeanette" and "Jeannette" are not the same name, and the former should not redirect to the latter. There is no reason to disambiguate the pool player, per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Jeannette H. Lee has been Jeannette Lee White since at least 2006. Jeannette Lee of PIL and Rough Trade is by far the WP:PRIMARY topic for the "Jeannette" spelling [1]. And "(Rough Trade)" is not a proper WP-style disambiguator (plus that label is far less notable than the band anyway).  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  23:39, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Wwwhatsup, JHunterJ, and Tassedethe: pinging previous discussers (discussants? discursors?).  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  23:39, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

If Jeannette H. Lee will be removed, I'd propose the following:

November 2017 edit

Had to re-create the Jeannette Lee (disambiguation) page, since WP:TWODABS no longer applies: Jeannette Lee White is back to Jeannette H. Lee in current sources (divorced since ca. 2006).  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  21:20, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
