– The sculptor does not appear to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by any objective measure. The page was created in 2007, which might explain why it currently is located where it is. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Jerry Harris → Jerry Harris (artist)
 * Gerry Harris (disambiguation) → Jerry Harris
 * Support first, but leave the dab page where it is and move Jerry Harris (television personality) to Jerry Harris. He has very suddenly become the overwhelming WP:primary topic with |Jerry_Harris_(television_personality)|Jerry_Harris_(scientist)|Gerry_Harris|Gerry_Harris_(academic) thousands of daily pageviews. (Only about a dozen incoming wikilinks will need to be retargeted to the artist before the TV personality is moved.) Station1 (talk) 07:47, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and dab all (, the views you mention are recentism due to not so good news coverage. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:49, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, as I mentioned, the pageviews are definitely very recent, but they are so tremendously overwhelming, that even if they drop by 95% tomorrow, the TV personality will still be primary usage for the foreseeable future, and almost everyone who will wind up on the dab page will want his article instead.

 * That makes sense in the short term, but may not long term which is where the dab page will takes precedent. I don't know the guidelines well enough to tell if "short term primaries" are encouraged to be made primary or if the dab page is the norm. At a minimum, the dab page should list the tv personality first during this time of increased notoriety. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:43, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * All indications are that he will be the long term primary topic. This story is not going away anytime soon. Station1 (talk) 04:48, 19 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:27, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support no clear primary topic so its safest to disambiguate, as noted arguably the television personality could be at the base name but recentism and problems with incoming external links probably favours the DAB.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:03, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Death
If you're going to suggest that the subject of a BLP has passed away, include the source. I have reverted all mentions of his death (that were added beginning in 2016) as no source has been provided nor could I find one, per WP:BLPREMOVE. Subject cannot be marked as such, unless a source is provided, until November 23, 2060 per WP:BDP GuyBanks (talk) 06:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
