– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per pageviews and news. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 04:57, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

• Support 1st, oppose 2nd, create DAB at basename. No PRIMARYTOPIC by long-term significance, considering the NFL player only exploded in popularity in 2024.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:45, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

• Do you mean "Support 2nd, oppose 1st"? I almost typed the same thing as well, before I realized that the 1st move is the "remove the football player to the basename" move, while the 2nd one is the "and move the politician out of the basename" move.

• Support. Mehmed Ulyanov (talk) 20:19, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
• Support the American footballer has 19,401 views compared with only 945 for the politician. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:32, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
• Support Likely to be primary. Definitely support 2nd, as the politician is not the PT. Natg 19 (talk) 01:06, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
• Support - Obvious disparity in coverage and page views. Original article is only the primary by default, not actual primacy. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 15:58, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:PRIMARY as the article about the politician appears to have more enduring WP:NOTABILITY. Views alone do not decide. --PoliticalPoint (talk) 21:04, 25 April 2026 (UTC) —  Blocked sockpuppet of Justthefacts, see investigation. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 14:49, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
• Support 2nd, but Oppose 1st. In terms of long-term significance, we don't know how things turn out - I'd say the safest bet is to have a disambiguation page at the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 08:25, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

I would note that the politician barely passes WP:GNG. The sources included are all directory listings. Of the six, two are dead links, three just list his name and what region he represented, and only one includes two actual paragraphs about him, which hardly qualifies as significant coverage, much less enduring. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 13:33, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose 1st, Support 2nd and create dabpage at basename. No primary topic by long-term significance except for fans of American football (which most of us in the world are not). -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:04, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
