Best man (disambiguation) → Best Man – There are 15 entries listed upon the Best man (disambiguation) page and only one of those is rendered with a lowercase "M" while, among the remaining 14 entries, 11 are titled "The Best Man" and the proposed dab page main title header — Best Man — is a redlink. It may be also noted that the lowercase "best man" does not even have its own entry, but is a redirect to Groomsman#Best man and that Gore Vidal's The Best Man (play) and The Best Man (1964 film) received various awards. Users who may type the uppercase Best Man or The Best Man while searching for the lowercase best man or the redlinked the best man would find the Groomsman link at the top of the proposed-for-renaming Best Man dab page. If consensus were to prefer moving Best man (disambiguation) → The Best Man, I would not oppose such an alternative option. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:55, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move to The Best Man and redirect Best Man there. Since most of the entries at the dab page are "The Best Man" that should be the title of the disambiguation page, while also disambiguating "Best Man" there per WP:DABCOMBINE. It absolutely should not remain at its current title, as Best man is not an ambiguous title, it's the uppercase titles that require disambiguation. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:14, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support as proposed. Best Man is the best title, per WP:DABNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 00:34, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
