– The entertainer is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, at least based on pageviews:
- Rex Smith (entertainer) (pageviews): consistently hundreds per day
- Rex Smith (baseball) (pageviews), Rex Smith (American football) (pageviews), Rex Smith Aeroplane Company (pageviews), Rex Smith Biplane (pageviews): all consistently less than 5 per day. Lennart97 (talk) 11:27, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Rex Smith titles a dab page with significant content and so is ineligible to be a new target page title in a move request unless it is also renamed. This proposal has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 17:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom, though the continued popularity of this page is a mystery. Obviously, this also means moving the dab page currently at Rex Smith to Rex Smith (disambiguation). —В²C ☎ 13:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Interestingly, the disambiguation page is already at Rex Smith (disambiguation) and Rex Smith redirects there. I was initially just planning to swap those two, but then realised there's a primary topic. Lennart97 (talk) 13:50, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Doh! I missed that. Thanks. And concur. —В²C ☎ 06:59, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

- Support and speedy close. This was the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC until last August, when it was moved without discussion (which is why the current setup, with Rex Smith pointing to Rex Smith (disambiguation) instead of the DAB at the baseline, is so clunky). Clearly, there is no consensus that this page is not the primary topic, so I motion that the undiscussed move simply be reverted. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
