– Metaphysician clearly isn't WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as per the pageviews graph (https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?start=2020-02&end=2026-08&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Andrew_Baxter|Andrew_Baxter_(politician)|Andrew_and_Jim_Baxter|Andrew_Baxter_(disambiguation)), the metaphysician's article had had a similar number of views to that of Andrew and Jim Baxter for several years and since the creation of the politician's article in May this year, the politician's article has had massively more views than either of the others. There's an argument that if anything the politician might be the WP:PT, but the metaphysician certainly does not appear to be. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 01:42, 21 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support, looked at the pageviews graph, clearly a WP:NOPRIMARY situation.

If we need to, we can make Andrew Baxter the politician in the future, but it's too soon to evaluate if he is WP:PRIMARY or not. In solidarity, Grilledcheeseisgreat ^✉ 02:31, 21 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
