Regan Smith → Regan Smith (racing driver) – There are two Regan Smiths, both of which are at least somewhat major figures in their respective sports. The swimmer Regan Smith has been influential in American swimming and also has usually more views on Wikipedia than the racing driver Regan Smith. However, the racing driver Regan Smith has had a storied career in NASCAR and is now a main reporter for NASCAR on Fox. I don't think that the racing driver Regan Smith can be classified as the main article. The page "Regan Smith" should be a disambiguation page. Nascar9919 (talk) 01:59, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination and likewise support creation of a Regan Smith disambiguation page that would list Regan Smith (racing driver) as well as Regan Smith (swimmer). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support - it is hard to compare two sports which are so different, but their achievements look at least in-the-ballpark comparable. A dab page is definitely the way to go here, IMO. Note that there are about 1445 incoming links to Regan Smith [1], so someone is going to have to run a bot to fix them. Adpete (talk) 06:50, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not that bad, since most links come from two dozen navigation templates [2]. No such user (talk) 08:43, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support creating a disambig page at the base name -- 64.229.88.43 (talk) 05:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support the swimmer has 2,520 views compared with only 1,220[[3]] for the racing driver and put a See also for Ragan Smith. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
