– I recently created David Webber (basketball). I then noticed that there were two David Webbers in the see also section of David Weber (disambiguation) (one "b"). I noticed that Mortimer Plumtree (stagename of a David Webber) was relevant to this topic and added him and (basketball) to the single-"b" see also section. Then, I decided that the double-"b" should have a separate dab, which I created at (disambiguation). Then, after some time spent with pageviews, it became clear that David Webber is not primary. I am here because it is not clear to me whether the proper destination for David Webber is David Webber (scientist), David Webber (computer scientist) or David Webber (information technologist). The former is the most concise, the middle is an actual category from his page, the latter is the referent from the opening sentence of his WP:LEAD. I would like feedback on the proper distination for him.- TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:29, 20 April 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Support per nom, with whatever disambiguator comes out of consensus.--Ortizesp (talk) 06:38, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose “(scientist)”. Not described as a scientist.  Not particularly impressive metrics as a scientist. The article describes him as a “technologist”.  Support “David Webber (computer scientist) as the usual description for such a person. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:16, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support David Webber (computer scientist). We usually try to avoid "scientist" as being too generic. But no primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
