Requested move 3 August 2026

• Lewis Clark → Lewis Clark (Canadian politician)
• Lewis Clark (disambiguation) → Lewis Clark

– Pretty clear absence of a primary topic of this name, given the half dozen people so named and the limited notability of the current title occupant. BD2412 T 18:47, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

• Comment "Lewis Clarke" is not ambiguous; I've created a new dabpage at Lewis Clarke (disambiguation). 162 etc. (talk) 19:20, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
• Support the Canadian politician has 44 views but Gaylord has 97 and Whitehouse has 12[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:27, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Are those two actually known as "Lewis Clark", though? 162 etc. (talk) 21:01, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

"Lewis" is the 1st name and "Clark" is the surname and "Firstname Lastname" is the expected title for people even if a middle name is included for common usage or natural disambiguation. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

That is not how WP:COMMONNAME works at all. 162 etc. (talk) 19:31, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

COMMONNAME is not the same thing as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, a person may have a WP:MIDDLENAME or similar in the title either due to common usage or natural disambiguation but that doesn't mean the person without such is primary. I don't know how much the other 2 people are known by the longer names but without evidence either way I would assume they are still likely to be looked for by the shorter title.

• Support per nomination and Crouch, Swale. There are three men listed upon the Lewis Clark (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the seven-sentence stub delineating the Canadian politician is primary over the combined prominence of the remaining two men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
