 * Oppose Salmond is a surname, not a mononym for the 2000s politician. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:48, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Nor is Yousaf, but that still redirects to Humza Yousaf. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 14:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It didn't, until it was moved without discussion a couple of months ago. Station1 (talk) 18:52, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There may be a legitimate debate about whether Humza Yousaf is the primary meaning of Yousaf, but that's not what we are discussing here. PatGallacher (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support In ictu oculi seems to have misunderstood how primary topic operates. Love him or loathe him he does look like the primary topic. PatGallacher (talk) 17:48, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Salmond doesn't even render any graphs because the total traffic was 35 views in a period of a month. I don't think a usage argument for primary topic can be made with such a small readership. Is anyone actually making the claim that we astonish all of those 35 viewers right now, by telling them that Salmond is a surname, and here's Alex Salmond right at the top? --Joy (talk) 14:08, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Since the answer seems to be no, I don't think we should be making any changes here. --Joy (talk) 07:35, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per IIO. No evidence that Alex Salmond is the primary topic here. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
