Requested move 30 September 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Bill Mayer (businessman)

There is a unanimous consensus that the article subject is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and therefore this article must be moved. I am unclear what Qwerfjkl's and Crouch, Swale's views are as to Bill Mayer (American football executive) vs Bill Mayer (businessman). If their supports are intended to indicate support for some move, then there is consensus to move to Bill Mayer (businessman). If their supports are intended to indicate support for the original proposal only, then there is no consensus as to the new name. In that case, per WP:OTHEROPTIONS, I must choose one of the options and I choose Bill Mayer (businessman) because that is more concise and the article text suggests it may be more accurate. I don't expect this to be contentious, but if it is, a new RM may be opened.

There is also consensus that the base name should redirect to William Mayer. (non-admin closure) Havelock Jones (talk) 13:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Mayer → Bill Mayer (American football executive) – Pageviews seem comparable, so I think Bill Mayer should become a dab. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Bill Mayer (businessman). Agree there's no primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Bill Mayer (businessman) per Necrothesp. The five-sentence stub for the sports businessman is certainly not primary. Bill Mayer should redirect to the all-inclusive William Mayer disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this, Bill Mayer to redirect to William Mayer.--Ortizesp (talk) 22:40, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
