Bill Fuller (footballer) → Bill Fuller – There is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC claim, but for Bill Fuller being the sole article bearing this exact name and analogous to Will Fuller which is a standalone main title header, rather than a redirect to the William Fuller disambiguation page.

Oppose the footballer was a minor player in the 1960s, wheras Irish businessman and impresario William "Bill" Fuller (1917–2008) and the characters in TV (Reggie Theus) and film George Washington Slept Here (Jack Benny) are more evident hits in Gbooks.

Comment. It should be noted that human name disambiguation pages, such as the one for William Fuller, are not intended to contain every use of this name form in the whole wide world, but to list only those names which are subjects of Wikipedia entries. Whether unlinked or redlinked, WP:DABMENTIONs [e.g. *Bill Fuller, fictional character played by Jack Benny in 1942 film George Washington Slept Here] are welcome but, as of this writing, Wikipedia contains only a single article with the main header "Bill Fuller" and only a single article with the main header "Will Fuller", atop which the hatnote states, "For the American football defensive end, see William Fuller (American football). For other people with a similar name, see William Fuller (disambiguation)." The difference between the two is that Will Fuller has his own main header, while Bill Fuller redirects to the base name, William Fuller. A similar RM is currently active at Talk:Tommy Corcoran (baseball)#Requested move 9 May 2018. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:24, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This is the only subject of this name who is covered on Wikipedia that I can see, making it the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. So far the only one with wiki article as "Bill Fuller". Change to oppose only if people dig out another Bill Fuller that had high potential to pass GNG, or already written a good stub. Matthew_hk t c 12:48, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – it's ambiguous, as other William Fullers are also known as Bill. Dicklyon (talk) 01:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
