Kathleen A. Fogarty → Kathleen Fogarty – only notable person with this name Jax 0677 (talk) 22:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anarchyte (talk) 08:46, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No other notable individuals have this name, and Kathleen Fogarty already redirects to this page. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:37, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It should be taken into consideration that a subject's middle initial is frequently indicated because that is the preferred form. In this particular case, the legislator's name appears on the ballot as "Kathleen A." and also many Category:Members of the Rhode Island House of Representatives are listed with middle initials, without regard for disambiguation needs. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:02, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Appears to be her WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I find it generally annoying that most of the members of the Rhode Island General Assembly are listed with their middle initial, so I support moving this article to get rid of it. Besides, as stated above, it's not like there are any other famous Kathleen Fogartys to be confused with. SusImposter49 (talk) 22:15, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
