– The NFL player should be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per page views. The NFL player article averages 222 views per day. There are five other Michael Dicksons but those pages average way fewer views than the NFL player. Ccai2053 (talk) 20:38, 19 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Support per nom, the page views are significantly higher for the NFL player than the other entries combined over a 5-year period, and seems to be PRIMARY.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Can't see there's any primary topic by long-term significance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose no one person more notable than all others combined. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:44, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per Necrothesp and In ictu oculi. There are six men listed upon the Michael Dickson disambiguation page, with no indication that the NFL player's renown is at such a level that it dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining five men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:48, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of "Michael Dickson" since 2018. Easily more notable than all others combined, and it's not even close. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
