Requested move 1 October 2024

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Due weight is given to the footballer in this case. There is no reason to believe that the footballer won't be significant in the long run. And more pageviews is an indication that we can provide an easier access route to readers via the dab page. Ergo, no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Ronnie Bell → Ronnie Bell (chemist) – not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Joeykai (talk) 00:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 03:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, create DAB at basename.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support the American footballer has 17,762 views compared with only 169[[1]] for the chemist. Redirect back to Ronald Bell. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:38, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The chemist and Fellow of the Royal Society seems to easily win on long-term significance. Of course the currently playing American football player has more pageviews. That's WP:RECENTISM for you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:02, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Ortizesp and Crouch, Swale. While the chemist was indeed affectionately known as "Ronnie", he published as R. P. Bell, R.P. Bell or RP Bell, not as "Ronnie Bell". It would seem that Ronnie Bell should best redirect to the Ronald Bell disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:55, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
