Phil Scott (politician) → Phil Scott – Clear primary topic. The only other two Phil Scotts on Wikipedia, the boxer and the footballer, appear extremely obscure. The governor gets 95% of pageviews. Nohomersryan (talk) 05:08, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. This article certainly appears to represent the main usage of this name. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support probably should just snowball this. -boldblazer (talk) 10:32, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New infobox image

Can we switch the infobox image to this? It’s clearer, better lit, it’s more recent, and it feels much more like a formal portrait than the current image, which looks pretty bad by comparison. Thoughts? The Image Editor (talk) 18:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I like this one you suggested better than the one that is on the page. Jessamyn (talk) 21:08, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in favor of changing to the proposed image. Sundayclose (talk) 00:23, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
