– There are 2 Stephen Simmons. The footballer and the boxer. The footballer is currently the "Primary" page for "Stephen Simmons" on Wikipedia, however the boxer is more famous. In fact if you google "Stephen Simmons" you will see that the boxer is top and in fact the only article on the footballer in the top 10 is the wikipedia page!

 * Stephen Simmons (boxer) → Stephen Simmons
 * Stephen Simmons → Stephen Simmons (footballer)

If you could sort this that would be great. thanks Boxing Central BoxingCentral (talk) 15:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose 1st move; Support 2nd move; Move (disambiguation) to base name. The primary topic in Books, and encyclopedic significance is Stephen Simmons, hung 1830, last case of Capital punishment in Michigan under state law. Neither sportsman is more significant than all other Stephen Simmons who ever lived, and making either of them primary would be user-unfriendly to either boxing readers or football readers.
