• Shaun Bailey (disambiguation) → Shaun Bailey
• Shaun Bailey → Shaun Bailey (London politician)

– Now that another Shaun Bailey has been elected to Parliament, I don't think a local politician who is only a candidate for higher office should remain as the primary topic. If he wins the mayoral election then the articles can be moved back again. Opera hat (talk) 04:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

• Support move: No clear primary topic, and dab page at base name will flag up incorrect links made to AM intended for MP, not flagged at present. Note that there are a lot of incoming links to be checked and disambiguated if move is made. PamD 05:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

I think 80-odd of the incoming links are from Template:British special advisers, which would be very easy to update. Opera hat (talk) 05:46, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

• Support - no clear primary topic.

• Support move of London mayoral candidate. It is hard to know which politician will become more prominent. It may be best to keep the dab page but redirect Shaun Bailey to that, to avoid multiple changes if the London man wins his election. I would suggest that if that happens they will be Shaun Bailey (mayor) and Shaun Bailey (MP). Peterkingiron (talk) 12:47, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

You can't redirect "Shaun Bailey" to "Shaun Bailey (disambiguation)": it would be WP:MALPLACED. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:58, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Support. I don't think there's a primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:59, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
• Support per all above. Boleyn (talk) 08:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
• Support. No primary topic. Ralbegen (talk) 12:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
