Matt Targett (footballer) → Matt Targett – More popular than the swimmer.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 21:40, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks to be a WP:TWODABS primary topic situation.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:49, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 08:36, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - not convinced there is a PRIMARYTOPIC here, polite reminder that Pageview stats are not indicator of notability. Giant Snowman 08:38, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. With such a large difference, it seems this is the primary topic. kennethaw88 • talk 23:19, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, page views are convincing here as to the primary topic.--Bob not snob (talk) 09:57, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYUSAGE and WP:TWODABS. (Pageviews have nothing to do with notability, but are often an indication of a primary topic.) Station1 (talk) 22:36, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the swimmer is still fairly notable, with an Olympic career and medals. While the swimmer's page views are far lower, part of that is likely due to the fact that the swimmer's career ended years ago, while the footballer is currently active. PrimaryTopic should not be confused with Recency Bias. RedPatchBoys (talk) 02:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I'm not persuaded by allegations of recency bias; the swimmer is a young guy and has been "losing" to the footballer since his page was first created. Nohomersryan (talk) 06:17, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
