Requested move 14 May 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. 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: Consensus to move page and add hatnotes. (non-admin closure) — YoungForever^(talk) 23:04, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Gilbert (scientist) → Sarah Gilbert – The page Sarah Gilbert at the moment is a redirect to the article about American actor Sara Gilbert, presumably because Sara could be misspelled Sarah. However, as the British vaccinologist and the actor have differently spelled names, there is no need for the redirect and the parenthetical disambiguation for this article is not necessary, and instead only a hatnote on both pages should be used (like the present hatnote on this page or a "not to be confused with" hatnote), per WP:SMALLDETAILS. --Ted Edwards 22:37, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support move per nom. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, but "Sarah Gilbert" could easily be converted into a disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support move with hatnotes. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per norms. ~Amkgp ✉ 02:41, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination. A hatnote is sufficient even for an extremely familiar-sounding name such as Jon Wayne — not a rationale for redirecting it to John Wayne. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Only one here with that spelling. A hatnote is fine for people looking for the other one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

O Levels[edit]

Seems odd to tell us that she has 9 O Levels without mentioning her A Levels. I'm sure she has some. Cross Reference (talk) 14:26, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Date check[edit]

" On New Year's Day 2019 Gilbert read on ProMED-mail about four people in China suffering from a strange pneumonia of unknown cause, in Wuhan, China"

So, on the 1st January 2019? Is that year correct? The source is a book so can't check it. But the next sentence reads... "Within two weeks a vaccine had been designed at Oxford against the new pathogen." with a source linking to the Guardian. The Guardian article also states, "On New Year’s Day 2020, Gilbert read about four people in China suffering from a strange pneumonia."

So which is it? 2019 or 2020? Doesn't seem like to be 2019 given the outbreak didn't start proper until 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.70.172.92 (talk) 08:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
