Other books

Did Jeff Kinney write children's books other than the Wimpy Kid series?

The lead sentence states: "Jeffrey Patrick "Jeff" Kinney (born February 19, 1971) is an American game designer and author of children's books including the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series."

I believe that yes he is an author of children's books and yes he did write the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Would it be better written as: "Jeffrey Patrick "Jeff" Kinney (born February 19, 1971) is an American game designer and author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series."

== Hi Jeff Kinney, I am doing an author talk Hi my name is T.J. I have read all your Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, when are you going to make your 3rd movie?

Which is more notable?

Is the football player or writer more notable? I really don't know which one should be simply titled "Jeff Kinney".~Wimpy Fanboy ^chit-chat?_{sign mine!} 02:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Book hoax

Some person named Rowley Halsey created the page Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Crisis Snow Day, which is now put up for speedy deletion. Knagy (talk) 04:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC) Dear jeff kinney, I am doing an interview at school, can i get some information about you, best wishes, Hieu (a primary student from Vietnam) P.S:Now you have seen my note, just throw it out.[reply]

Major cleanup

I did a major clean-up with this article. I:

Added a note about Wimpy Wonderland in the Poptropica note
Removed random "Holly Hills' dad" note in the note of the second movie
Added a note about the first movie

I wish editors good luck with this article, as it is beginning to fall apart.

The naming of the books could show the day and month of when they were made and/or published. 94.6.11.243 (talk) 16:24, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greg is not based on Jeff!

Since Rodrick and Manny (Greg's brothers) are based on Jeff's brothers, I always thought Greg was based on Jeff. That is clearly not the case, as Jeff has 1 sister, and Greg doesn't have any sisters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8BF9:45F0:3026:A844:C4C6:6236 (talk) 12:38, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Kinney (author) → Jeff Kinney – A clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in a WP:TWODABS situation. Author of bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series) vs. Jeff Kinney (American football), a retired American football player. See pageviews comparison. The disambigation page would no longer be necessary. Lazz _R 13:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this move, the discrepancy in pageviews seems ample justification for me to support a WP:ONEOTHER move. Nutnut39 (talk) 14:03, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, pageview data in this case is pretty decisive and there are no others to disambiguate with. PC78 (talk) 14:24, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support; seems self-explanatory. The Jeff Kinney disambiguation page and the Jeff Kinney NFL player page are viewed at pretty much the same rate. Nohomersryan (talk) 03:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support given that the author sees like a clear primary topic by all indicators. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 12:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
