Bill Sharkey → Bill Sharkey (footballer) – From what I can tell this is a rather obscure individual who isn’t quite notable to be a primary (the boxer would make more sense) Anyway, Bill Sharkey should become a redirect to William Sharkey Sirlink2222 (talk) 03:11, 30 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination. The one-sentence stub delineating the footballer is not primary over Bill Sharkey (boxer) who has a full article. Each Bill is named William and both are already listed upon the William Sharkey disambiguation page where Bill Sharkey should indeed redirect. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:51, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Support the footballer has 25 views but the boxer has 291[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
