– I originally created Kim Woo-jin (singer) at its present title because Kim Woo-jin (archer) existed at Kim Woo-jin before being moved. However, over the past six months, it has become incredibly evident the singer is the primary topic. Page view trends heavily favor the singer and continue to increase over time, while the archer's remain stagnant. With the false allegations mentioned in the singer's article still haunting him to this day (see the constant vandalism in the page's history since inception), it is unlikely search patterns will change in the foreseeable future. ✗ plicit  00:44, 4 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 晚安 (トークページ) 16:04, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Kim Woo-jin (singer) → Kim Woo-jin
 * Kim Woo-jin → Kim Woo-jin (disambiguation)
 * Somewhat skeptical: The singer has only been notable for a few years, and the level of interest in him seems clearly a matter of WP:RECENTISM, partly driven by the above-mentioned allegations that began only a year and a half ago. The archer, on the other hand, set a world record at Olympic trials and has been ranked #1 in the world over a significant period of time. The popularity of the singer will probably fade away more quickly than that of the archer. One the other hand, this is basically a WP:TWODABS situation, where the threshold for considering one topic to be primary may be relatively low. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - Looking at the pageview analysis for the plain title |Kim_Woo-jin_(archer)|Kim_Woo-jin Kim Woo-jin, it shows only two occasions in which the pageviews for that article have spiked beyond the current average pageviews for the singer. One spike was in August 2016, when the archer was participating in the Olympics, and lasted just a few days before the daily pageviews receded to sub-100 (often even sub-50) levels. The second spike was in July 2021, when the documentary about the singer was released, which makes me suspect that this spike was driven by people looking for the singer. According to the article, the singer was also recently cast in an HBO series, suggesting he'll continue to be relevant. On the whole, while there's definitely some possibility of recentism, I think it's likeliest that the singer will continue to be the primary topic.

 * On the other hand, the archer is a really, really good archer. His name will sit in the history of that sport for a long time to come. He has been ranked #1 in the world, is a three-time recurve World Champion, is an Olympic gold medalist, and from 2016–2019 he held the world-record score of 700 with 72 arrows at a 70-metre distance (surpassed by Brady Ellison with a 702 in 2019). Pop singers often fade away. (Also, someone just added a third candidate topic to the dab page.) —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 13:04, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * All these achievements and the English-speaking world still doesn't care about the archer. Isn't that amazing? Pageviews Analysis says it all: from July 2015 to November 2021 when the archer occupied Kim Woo-jin, it averaged 50 daily page views over the course of six years. I find it odd that you argue in favor of a disambiguation over WP:RECENTISM, but ignore that the first spike in views occurred during the 2016 Olympics as recentism at the time which lasted a few days. His "popularity" then tanked, remained on the floor for years, then spiked again thanks to the recentism of the 2020 Olympics. Meanwhile, the singer had one scandal in 2020, one album in 2021, and won't see his first TV series air until next year, but still attracts significantly more traffic. It is pretty clear who the readers are looking for when they search "Kim Woo-jin". ✗  plicit  14:28, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Just in case it was not already clear, I have not objected to the proposal. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 13:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
