Eddie Gray (footballer, born 1948) → Eddie Gray – clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This article accounts for around 97% of page views for people named Eddie Gray. He also has far more long-term significance than any other Eddie Gray. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 13:26, 21 March 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 02:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - pageviews do not make a primary topic, see WP:PPT. Far too many people called Edward/Eddie Gray to merit having a primary topic. Giant Snowman 12:34, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman: I reject the suggestion that there are too many people with the same name to make this a primary topic. Would you supprt moving David Cameron or Henry Ford or even John Barnes because there are too many other people who share their names. Equally, he wasn't an Edward so there are only 3 or 4 other articles this could apply to anyway, with this Eddie Gray receiving the vast amount of coverage in reliable sources.

I opposed the John Barnes move and still think that was a silly decision. Giant Snowman 21:41, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I respect your opinion. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 22:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I feel disambiguation is there for a reason. I agree with GS points. Makes more sense to me anyway. Govvy (talk) 11:16, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
