 * Support per nomination. There are three entries listed upon the Kyle Spencer (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the five-sentence stub delineating the tennis player dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining two entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:23, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Kyle_Spencer shows so little traffic we can't even identify trends, so the assumption of WP:PTOPIC should be voided. I don't know why we'd assume this would be a controversial move that needs prior discussion, why not just be bold and go ahead with it? --Joy (talk) 09:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No harm in holding the discussion, other than delaying the inevitable, while sometimes interesting observations pop up from the peanut gallery that are good to note moving forward. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:50, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per Roman - I agree there's no primary topic here. Also FYI, was correct in filing this as this is what RMs are for - to seek input from others. Sods law says had SRG been bold and moved it he would've been reverted- Happened to me a few times and ironically enough they were moved again afterwards anyway. Anyway support moving. – Davey 2010 Talk 14:24, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't be so strict, the WP:RM process doesn't in any way override the WP:Be bold guideline. I don't think we should bureaucratize the editing process beyond what is actually necessary; excessive discussions can also be a drain on the collective volunteer time. I would encourage you all to just weigh these decisions appropriately and not short-circuit towards the discussion option. --Joy (talk) 14:34, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Absurd comment. BOLD doesn't trump RM either. "excessive discussions can also be a drain on the collective volunteer time" is bs though as it only takes less than a minute to offer your 2p here and no one is being forced to comment either. I would encourage SRG and any other editors to continue using RM for its intended purpose.
 * If you have a problem with people using RM the way it was intended then go to WP:VP/PR and do something about it. – Davey 2010 Talk 15:14, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but why are you being so combative? --Joy (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with Joy that when a move doesn't look like it has reason to be controversial, a bold move is more appropriate than an RM. I do that a lot, and only a very small percentage of them get any objection and thus go to discussion.  This saves a ton of editor time on the ones that don't need discussion (but the ones that get objected to sometimes led to huge discussions, and sometimes don't go through).
