Not moved. Consensus appears to be running in the other direction. Note: expanded rationale per objection of original proposer. As those opposing the move correctly point out, we never disambiguate between names already distinguished by the presence of a patronymic in one that is absent in another. There is no reasonable policy-based rationale for the move. Furthermore, as there are only two articles at issue, with each having a single clear primary topic, the move would either result in a WP:TWODABS violation (creating a disambiguation page listing only two items, of which one is the clear primary topic) or a WP:MALPLACED page, with the undisambiguated title uselessly redirecting to the disambiguated title. The nomination did not make clear which of these situations it would like to see instituted, but as neither is supported by policy, this does not change the outcome. bd2412 T 16:44, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
USS George M. Neal → USS George M. Neal (DDG-131) – to disambiguate from another ship article with nearly identical namw, (USS George H. McNeal (SP-312)), per WP:SHIPDAB. Thanks - wolf 03:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
many ships do not use qualifiers". It could be "many", but that still only applies ships with unique names. Ships that have the same or similar names have such "qualifiers" because they need them. Look no further than approx. 20 different ships that have had a variation of Washington in their name, as examples. This page is no different. - wolf 16:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
