Speculation...don't add to 2011 page.

Any thoughts on where Skinner will end up? Assuming he remains with a Toyota team, his only viable options are Vision Aviation Racing, Kyle Busch Motorsports, or maybe Red Horse Racing. Considering that Kyle may or may not have enough sponsorship for his own #18, Skinner's best bet would probably be Vision Aviation. Gaeaman787 (talk) 02:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Skinner (racing driver) → Mike Skinner – I believe that the racing driver is sufficently well-known to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. A hatnote would be added to the page to link to Michael Skinner, which is the dab page Mike Skinner currently redirects to. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:05, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - no significant primary for these individuals. One seems to be more regionally recognizable than the other, but nothing "universal".--Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 05:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – one editor's belief with no data is not a reason to declare a primary. Dicklyon (talk) 01:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, looking them up on Google, we get the following results.

Search paramaters were: '"Mike Skinner" "profession" -wiki -wikipedia -pedia -profession2 -profession3'

NASCAR → g324,000; gN16,600; gB806

Rugby → g86,900; gN58; gB49

Rapper → g56,700; gN839; gB217

Web hits are terribly biased. In google books, the rapper and nascar are approximately equal. Dicklyon (talk) 02:10, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Viewing stats show that the musician is more popular than the driver. Last 90 days: 27368 vs 3424 Tassedethe (talk) 15:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
