Comment If this move does take place, then it removes the need for the DAB, all that will be needed is a hatnote on the Primary article to the other article. I would say that the cricketer is the clear PT at the moment, but as others (@Jack Upland:) have mentioned at the previous RM, this may not always be the case. I've certainly never heard of the writer, but I don't know how widely his work is used in social sciences etc. You need to adapt the google search to prove the primacy too.

Oppose. The writer clearly has lasting significance. The cricketer is likely to be out of the limelight after 10 years. Having a DAB page is not a problem and there is no need to change what was decided last year.--Jack Upland (talk) 20:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The writer has long-term significance whereas the cricketer only appears to have risen to prominence in the last couple of years. Not convinced we have a primary topic at this time. PC78 (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
