Primary sources maintenance tag

I have added the primary sources maintenance tag to the page because many of the inline citations are either authored, co-authored, or attributed to Riskin himself. While this may not be the biggest hill to die on, given that this is a BLP article I thought it would be worth it to try and find reliable secondary/tertiary sources to back up some of these claims.

Requested move 12 August 2026

• Dan Riskin → Dan Riskin (physician)
• Dan Riskin (disambiguation) → Dan Riskin

– Daniel K. Riskin has six times more pageviews and is known as Dan (refs 2 & 3; Daily Planet EL). That seems ample to prevent any other page from being a primary topic. Is it enough to usurp the base name? I'm not sure; this looks like a WP:DABTWO case. Certes (talk) 13:04, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

• Support the physician has 2,006 views but K has 13,070. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:44, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

The official website likewise uses "Dan", so there's a clear WP:COMMONNAME argument there to change the title of that article, too, to something like Dan Riskin (biologist). And the all-time page views graph is very convincing - an argument in favor of keeping the physician in primary topic position would have to be well documented. --Joy (talk) 13:00, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
