Just a note

James Mueller (mayor) → James Mueller – The primary topic in a WP:ONEOTHER situation and gets more pageviews. Sahaib3005 (talk) 15:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support Appears to be the clear primary topic over a fairly longterm length of time. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:42, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support In terms of usage, page views, and long term notability, the Indiana politician appears to be a clear primary topic over the Ohio one.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose He's a small town mayor, the other guy is a small town state rep. In 100 hundred years they will be equally insignificant. I don't see this guy as having anymore significance, also the clarification is important since they are both politicians from Midwestern states. I think the title should be James Mueller (Indiana politician). Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 02:41, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * We determine primary topics by relative notability to others of the same title, not by meeting a minimum arbitrary standard of significance. Someone can be a national leader and not be a primary, and someone can be an supporting actor on a one-season sitcom and be one. In this case, the relative notability is overwhelming, and there's no reason beyond CRYSTALBALL to make the assumption that would be any different in a decade.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:18, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this philosophy. I think the absolute level of significance is a relevant factor - and the lower it is, the higher the threshold for relative difference should be to establish a ptopic. For example, even though Paris (mythology) is not far below the city in significance, no editor is going to make the mistake of writing  intending to link to the prince, because everyone knows about Paris, France. The same safety valve does not exist when disambiguating between obscure topics like this. (I wrote about this in another recent RM discussion as well.)
 * Also, I disagree with this: there's no reason beyond CRYSTALBALL to make the assumption that would be any different in a decade. The mayor is in office today. The other James Mueller was in office in the 1970s. Colin M (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

– Consistently gets the most page views by far (apart from when Jim Mueller was on the In the news section of the Main page). Also Jim Mueller is more commonly referred to as Jim not James and so the only other article is James Mueller (Ohio politician) who doesn't seems to have any long term significance.

 * James Mueller (Indiana politician) → James Mueller
 * James Mueller → James Mueller (disambiguation)


 * Support per nom, pageviews are convincing. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 18:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per convincing "oppose" argument made nearly two years ago under Talk:James Mueller (Indiana politician), above. Since Jim Mueller is also listed on the dab page, the Indiana mayor's entry is not primary over the combined notability of the remaining two entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Roman Spinner. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:39, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
