Oppose Grant Hill is a prominent Canadian politican, and even served for a time as opposition leader. - SimonP 22:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support The majority of people searching for Grant Hill will be looking for the basketball player. Adding a disambiguation link or a direct link to the other Hill should be good enough. Drunkasian 2005-12-01 20:23 (UTC)
support 3 of the first 5 entries when you google grant hill site:en.wikipedia.org are about the athlete or has references to him. to be fair, 3 of the next 5 are references are to the politician, but i agree with the previous poster/voter. 68.240.150.70 01:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
support. The disparity is even greater when googling the internet as a whole. Even if you limit the search to only Canadian websites ("Grant Hill" site:.ca) and look at the first ten results, it's a near-even 6-4 split favoring the NBA player. It appears the basketball player and the Canadian politician are about equally notable in Canada, but the Grant Hill of the NBA is eminently more famous everywhere else, as the NBA has fans worldwide, due in part to players being drafted from all over the globe. He currently has a teammate from Turkey and one from Croatia, whose fans back home have undoubtedly never heard of Grant Hill (politician). — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 22:15, Jan. 13, 2006

Someone changed "Grant Hill" back to a dab page, but I moved it back again in accoradnce with the consensus above. Please discuss any changes in the future before taking unilateral action. Grant Hill the basketball player is known worldwide; Grant Hill the politican is not. Operating on the principle of least surprise, we must have the Grant Hill article be about the basketball player. Otherwise, what's next? Making London a dab page because of London, Ontario? StarryEyes 12:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
