– With so many people there does not appear to be a primary topic; even the subject's son John F. Bassett has just as many pageviews. The proposed, WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION title is used by, among other websites, Canadian Business Hall of Fame and Governor General of Canada Yinweiaiqing (talk) 12:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support WH has 388 views but John F. Bassett has 370, John D. Bassett has 134, John Bassett Moore has 129, John Spencer Bassett has 78, Johnnie Bassett has 78, Johnny Bassett has 47, the 1551 one has 14 and the 1503–50/51 one has 1[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Crouch, Swale. There are nine men listed upon the John Bassett (disambiguation) page, with no indication that John W. H.'s renown exceeds the combined notability of the remaining eight men. As for the middle initials "W. H.", in addition to the links mentioned in the nomination, there are John W. H. Bassett Theatre, and Canadian Encyclopedia, which lists him as "John White Hughes Bassett", not as simply "John Bassett". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is someone going to go through the 130 or so links to John Bassett and repoint then to John W. H. Bassett? Wellington Bay (talk) 13:13, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
