John Dodderidge (died 1659) → John Dodderidge – Proposed target was previously a DAB pointing to this article and John Doddridge, somebody else with a similar, but differently spelt name. As these are two separate people with differently spelt names, there is no reason why the subject of this article should not be at the undisambiguated title either, as hatnotes suffice in re-navigating where required.

Support per nomination. Appears to be an uncontroversial technical request. Sole Wikipedia entry bearing this exact main title header thus obviating need for the non-standard parenthetical qualifier "(died 1659)". Even taking into account, as pointed out in the lede line of the John Doddridge entry, that name spellings were inconsistent in the 16th and 17th centuries, John Dodderidge and John Doddridge can more intuitively point to each other via hatnotes. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:02, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Hatnotes are fine in this case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:25, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
