• Stanley Anderson → Stanley Anderson (actor)
• Stanley Anderson (disambiguation) → Stanley Anderson

– I do not see how an under-referenced article on an actor with a career of bit parts and small roles can be the primary topic over the various other people having the same name. The artist seems to have greater historical significance, and another subject is now the Chief Judge of a United States district court. bd2412 T 19:28, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. Hard to object to him being the primary topic when the other pages are frequently never viewed. Between Stanley Anderson, Stanley Anderson (artist) and Stanley Thomas Anderson, the actor received 93% of the pageviews this year. (It's 92% if you exclude the brief spike he got from his death.) Even if you add the PTM Stan Andersons (which adds 2 death spikes), the actor is still the overwhelming favorite with 70%, 75% if you ignore the deaths. So when there is only one topic readers care about at all, there is no reason for Stanley Anderson to point to a DAB page. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:20, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
• Neutral - Going back several months of page views, the actor gets about 80% of pageviews compared to the others (apart from the months after his death). While this is a high proportion, I anticipate that in the long-term (WP:10 year test) we will see that spread diminish and that there is no credible long-term primary topic. We can either address it now, or later. -- Netoholic @ 04:17, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per Nohomersryan. Clear primarytopic here. Dohn joe (talk) 17:42, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nomination. Every disambiguation page has entries that receive more views than other entries. Not every disambiguation page, however, has a primary topic and certain standards and burdens should be met in order to become primary. An actor whose entire career seems to have consisted of relatively minor roles does not appear to qualify.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:21, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
