I created this DAB in 2012 (the first content page I created, I think!) after moving the previous subject of the page to Jon Hubbard (British politician). Initially it just DAB'd him and Jon Hubbard (American politician); Boleyn subsequently added Jonathan Hatch Hubbard, and a few months later she successfully PRODded the British politician's article, leaving the page with just these two.

In other words, this is a series of reasonable edits that has left us with a DAB that I don't think I would have created for just these two. While Jon is sometimes a nickname for Jonathan, I don't see any evidence that Jonathan Hatch Hubbard went by it. So the primary topic for "Jon Hubbard" would seem to be the American politician. I think the better approach here would be to delete the dab, move the American politician's article to this title, and hatnote his article to Jonathan Hatch Hubbard and John Hubbard (disambiguation). -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 07:35, 29 January 2022 (UTC) c/e broken links 12:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move Jon Hubbard (American politician) to Jon Hubbard with perhaps a hatnote pointing to John Hubbard. No indication that the Jonathan was ever called "Jon". PamD 12:25, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
