The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move to dab page. The consensus is that there is no primary topic. (non-admin closure). ^Ḉɱ̍ 2nd anniv. 01:48, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

– Currently, the main "Jim Strickland" is about an obscure baseball player from the 70s. I think this Jim Strickland, as the sitting mayor of a major city, meets the qualifications for being the primary topic. CountGrasshopper (talk) 22:09, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation page may be warranted. Neither the political or baseball player is very widely-known. And there are other Jim Stricklands, such a basketball player (and here) as well as one from an earlier era); also a golfer and a musician. older ≠ wiser 12:51, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support dab page – Neither subject can be considered a dominant primary topic. — JFG ^talk 02:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support dab page. No primary topic, so support the second move, oppose the first. Andrewa (talk) 06:57, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support dab page per previously stated arguments. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support the politician as the primary topic. With only two topics with articles on Wikipedia, it's easy to see that the politician is what people are looking for, with about 40 times the page views. kennethaw88 • talk 02:32, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Besmirching Mayor Strickland's accomplishments

I'm sorry. I hate to see pettiness get in the way of the truth, but it seems someone keeps trying to sweep under the rug Jim Strickland's hamburgaling accomplishments.

Whoever keeps vandalizing this page should be ashamed of themselves. 2601:3C1:C204:7220:CC5F:343A:8D93:6599 (talk) 07:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
