Requested move
The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Support as nominator. The page "Yeats" is currently a redirect having been moved from "Yeats (disambiguation)" without discussion. There is no clear primary page for the page, and so "Yeats" should be the dab page. "Yeats" may be confused with "Yeates" and the best place to deal with this is at a dab page.

Oppose - I think it it clear W.B. should be the primary target if we just consider Yeats. I suspect Yeates is much less searched, so it would be more efficient to keep it as is. Maybe a Yeates pipe on WB's page. (John

Clarification.: I don't think that the disambiguation page should be at "Yeats". I feel that there should be one disambiguation page for all spellings of Yates, Yeates, Yeats, and Yaights, and that all spellings should point there; even if "Yeats" defaults to W.B. with a
hatnote to the disambiguation page. --

Thanks for piping in again - I can understand the desire to improve navigation in the scenarios you are concerned with and would support any changes that go that way short of the article change suggested. It looks like most of the cases are covered by hatnotes on the various pages. (John
