James Gerard (disambiguation)James GerardJames Gerard is currently a redirect to American ambassador to Germany, James W. Gerard, one of the entries listed at the James Gerard (disambiguation) page, but there is no specification on that dab page that it has a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 16:38, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. The WWI era ambassador is Wikipedia's only James Gerard. There is also an actor of this name on IMDB. Nine Zulu queens (talk) 09:13, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose nom as presented is based on a fallacy that the formatting of the dab page has any influence on the selection of a primary topic (formatting now fixed). The merits of the primary topic seem unchallenged so status quo ante (and I agree with Nine Zulu queens has merit). Widefox; talk 12:49, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
    • As for the separate issue of it failing WP:TWODABS, the see also seems handy so I'm tempted to leave as is. Widefox; talk 12:52, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
