Rowling → Rowling (disambiguation) – The clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is the author of Harry Potter, so Rowling should just redirect to J.K. Rowling.

Edit: For those asking for proof, per the page views tool and Google Trends Joanne Rowling is far more known than Prime Minister Bill. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 06:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support there are no full matches (with the possible exception of the surname its self which doesn't exist) and all Google results are for JK. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:03, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. She is the best match for this word and is a household name. Theparties (talk) 18:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (strongly) — There's a Prime Minister of New Zealand with this surname. Also, no evidence provided that JK is the primary topic. There's no harm in having the disambiguation page (or a surname page) at the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 04:07, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
