Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to William R. Smith (Utah politician). Hatnotes can be handled outside the RM, and if William Smith (Latter Day Saints) needs to be moved, a separate RM can be opened. This RM has consensus for the Utah politician disambiguator.

William R. Smith (Mormon) → William R. Smith (Utah politician) – or William R. Smith (Mormon leader) or William R. Smith (Mormon pioneer) or William R. Smith (territorial representative). The current disambiguation term seems unusual. His notability is due to his leadership, not his religious affiliation. See William Smith (disambiguation) and William R. Smith (disambiguation) for other subjects with similar names. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support some change; (Utah politician) seems the best of multiple imperfect options. Depending on what is chosen, a hatnote at William Smith (Latter Day Saints) might be necessary. Walt Yoder (talk) 15:00, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know about William Smith (Latter Day Saints). I think that might need more than a hatnote. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support William R. Smith (Utah politician) per above.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
