Jean Kelly (disambiguation) → Jean Kelly – The actress' stage name is not "Jean Kelly", but Jean Louisa Kelly per her website, IMDb, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Twitter, etc. No need for redirecting Jean Kelly to Jean Louisa Kelly when it can serve as the dab page base name. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:57, 21 October 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. OhKayeSierra (talk) 02:11, 30 October 2019 (UTC) —Relisted. P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 02:53, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Given she's the only person by that name with an article, I think it's perfectly reasonable that she's a primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There is no "Jean Kelly" with an article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:06, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shhhnotsoloud, Jean Louisa Kelly is also sometimes credited just as Jean Kelly [1] lots of Google matches came up. Adding confusion to this is that many people are probably misspelling Gene Kelly, who's, as far as I'm aware, better known than the actress. Boleyn (talk) 05:48, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Boleyn: Thanks. I think a disambiguation page at the base name is the way to go. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No clear primary topic for the title (especially with people with similar names). The safest bet is moving the disambiguation page to the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 12:49, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If I'm reading this right, even though the most common name for this actress uses her middle name she remains the only notable topic referred by this name too, and therefore this would not be a helpful move for readers.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:17, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support – disambiguation serves better here. Dicklyon (talk) 03:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Necrothesp. Calidum 13:44, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Jean Kelly works like it should as a PRIMARYREDIRECT. P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 02:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
