– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, even before his election to parliament the diplomat has had more pageviews than the professor for the last decade. (pageview graph link). Not having a disambiguation on his article also avoids having to decide whether "diplomat" or "politician" is more appropriate. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 17:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the diplomat has 2,749 views compared with only 104[[1]] for the biology professor so at least there is no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Crouch, Swale, although judging by subject's listing under Category:20th-century Scottish botanists and Category:Scottish gardeners, subject was best known as a botanist and gardener, rather than as a biologist. I would thus support Alan Gemmell → Alan Gemmell (botanist), which is a common parenthetical qualifier, while the qualifier "(biology professor)" appears to be a rarity. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
