– I'm not seeing indication that the former Wisconsin governor is the primary topic. The top Google results are either about the Outlander character, for which we only have a one-line entry in the list article, or the climate-change researcher, for which we have nothing. It seems best to have the disambiguation page at the plain name. Maybe Alex Randall should redirect there as well. Paul_012 (talk) 12:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Alexander Randall → Alexander Randall (Wisconsin politician)
 * Alexander Randall (disambiguation) → Alexander Randall
 * Alex Randall → Alex Randall (artist)


 * Support per nom. No clear primary topic. BD2412  T 17:26, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. The only reason this article occupies this primary topic namespace is because the page was created first in 2005, the Massachusetts Randall second in 2007, and the lighting designer created (apparently by herself) third in 2012. Thanks to User:Paul_012 we have a nice new DA page but that editor is quite correct there's no obvious primary topic here. BusterD (talk) 17:41, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: Come to think of it, Alex Randall is probably fine as it is. Since the subject is female, it wouldn't make sense to list it under a dab page for "Alexander Randall". --Paul_012 (talk) 18:47, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment For my part, I think the artist's pagename is fine, but DO think the subject has a logical place on the DA page. Her page appearance is at least as appropriate as a moderately well-known fictional character without his own article. Not everyone looking for the subject knows Alex is a female or knows Alex is short for a feminine name. BusterD (talk) 21:46, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Support 1st & 2nd, Oppose 3rd. No primary topic. No need for Alex Randall to be renamed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
