Dave Hancock (disambiguation) → David Hancock – or David Hancock (disambiguation)? It seems to me that these two pages need to be merged, although not certain what the best title is.

Yes I'd agree with merging per WP:DABCOMBINE as "Dave" is short for "David". Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:11, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Crouch, Swale. The Dave Hancock (disambiguation) page was created over nine years ago in February 2013, thus there was no need to create a separate David Hancock dab page nine months ago in September 2021. Among the three men listed within the new David Hancock page, two had been already available under the Dave Hancock page. Ultimately, the nine-month-old David Hancock dab page should be deleted, thus enabling elimination of the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)" through move of the nine-year-old Dave Hancock (disambiguation) page to David Hancock. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:17, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Clearly should be merged. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: Merge done per unanimous consent above and WP:MERGECLOSE. Should the dab remain at Dave Hancock (disambiguation)? Or should it be moved to David Hancock? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 19:53, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Probably David Hancock as they all are David, it is not certain that all are known as Dave. A865 (talk) 23:45, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Continuing my support for Dave Hancock (disambiguation) → David Hancock per nomination and A865. There are three men named "David" and four men named "Dave" listed upon the Dave Hancock (disambiguation) page. Since all four men named "Dave" are listed in their respective lead sentences as also being named "David", the intuitive main title header for the dab page is "David Hancock". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:16, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with using David. I think it's a pity that Dave Hancock didn't get set up with a qualifier in the first place though - I would think that few people would know who he is outside of Canada. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:18, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
