The result of the move request was: moved. If necessary, a further RM can be opened to determine Thomas Wainwright (footballer, born 1876) vs Thomas Wainwright (footballer), but there's clear consensus that he is not the primary topic.

– No WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by page views or long-term significance, so DAB should be at base name. The footballer has to be disambiguated further as per WP:NCSP; there's another English footballer named Tom Wainwright (legal name Thomas), so birthyear is perhaps best disambiguator. Page view stats [|Thomas_Wainwright_(cricketer)|Tom_Wainwright here]. Ortizesp (talk) 22:37, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thomas Wainwright (disambiguation) → Thomas Wainwright
 * Thomas Wainwright → Thomas Wainwright (footballer, born 1876)
 * Support the 1876 one gets 273 views but the cricketer gets 202 and Tom Wainwright gets 345.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 08:21, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Support - no PRiMARYTOPIC. GiantSnowman`
 * Support moving of dab page to basename, but oppose suggested disambiguator for Thomas Wainwright. Plain (footballer) is enough to disambiguate him from the cricketer, and his common name disambiguates him from Tom Wainwright. Currently there are no other footballers with a WP article whose common name is Thomas Wainwright. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:26, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Support as per nom. 162 etc. (talk) 15:33, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
