Support per nomination. The four-sentence stub for the basketball player does not indicate a sports figure of such renown that it overwhelms the combined notability of the other three men listed upon the Alvin Jones (disambiguation) page which should be likewise moved to Alvin Jones. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:36, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support the American footballer gets 1,821 and the footballer gets 319 compared to only 260[[1]] for the basketball player, no primary topic at best, move the DAB to the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:11, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support - agree no primary topic here. Rikster2 (talk) 11:55, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've added moving the disambiguation page to this move request. If the originally proposed move goes through, then the dab page should be moved too. Iffy★Chat -- 22:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support per nom (maybe even speedy move as uncontroversial). No clear primary topic, and if there was one it seems it wouldn't be the basketball player. Move disambiguation page to basenme. Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:03, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per page views: there's no primary topic by usage. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:33, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
