– This page seems to be significantly more popular than the current Mike Vining page, which is for a retired basketball coach with three sentences in total. Mike Vining the soldier should probably be the primary page for "Mike Vining" Zinderboff(talk) 15:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I was definitely puzzled to see this article, which has essentially no meaningful incoming links, and is about a subject of minimal notability, get 1000+ pageviews per day. It turns out that Mike Vining is an internet meme, although this is not addressed anywhere on the page. If there is a primary topic, it's the meme, and that should be expanded in the article. 162 etc. (talk) 17:29, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support the soldier has 19,765 views compared with only 426[] for the coach so at the least there is likely no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This is a "takeover" of a primary topic. I have added a move of the coach Mike Vining to Mike Vining (coach). Natg 19 (talk) 21:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- Could go either way? But maybe it would be clearer rewritten:
Schazjmd (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)In 1978, he joined the newly-formed Delta Force as the unit's first EOD specialist.
