There is information under Space Cadet (the Heinlein novel) that should appear under Tom Corbett. I am copying/moving the material from Space Cadet, since it belongs with Tom Corbett, and I hope someone will know enough to verify the information. Zaslav 01:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS FOR PAGE MOVE, per discussion below. It's true that there's no policy reason to reserve the main title for whichever page was created first; in this case, using the main title for a disambiguation page seems quite reasonable. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Tom Corbett, Space CadetTom Corbett — This page was original entitled Tom Corbett, however was moved to "make way" for an article on an attorney general. I beleive the current consensus is that in the case of articles with the same name, the first article created gets precedence. J E Bailey 20:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose I am not aware of a policy as stated. Some believe the policy should be that real people get preference over fictional characters. I think it may be best to have Tom Corbett as a dab page. -- Beardo 01:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I created a dab for meantime - but: the name of the series is Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and the article is about the whole thing, not just the character. "Tom Corbett" only clearly refers to one thing: the AG of Pennsylvania. This is a good case for top-line disambiguation - and this is what I propose we continue to have. - CrazyRussian talk/email 00:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
