The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. Closing this discussion is difficult. Regarding the criteria listed in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the stats quoted by George Ho don't quite support the football player being "much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined". As for long-term significance, there is no obvious choice. Personally, I'm surprised that the two-line entry about the soap character gets so much attention, but maybe it expresses the potential for a separate article.

Support. Only Jamie Martin that actually has an article (and hence notable enough to have a stand-alone article); clear primary topic. Jenks24 (talk) 08:23, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
You can say that about just about any name. Plugging a search term in on Google and not finding 10 results all about the same topic doesn't mean the isn't a primary topic. Do you think that many people searching for Jamie Martin on Wikipedia would be looking for anyone but the American football player? Jenks24 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
What are examples that a redirect title is primary? Which "rationale": mine or Jenks's? If mine, I can't think any reason that Jamie Martinthe football player is not primary. Also, I can't think any reason that the AMC character is more popular than the other. --George Ho (talk) 19:40, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
This case is different: You're referring the one-term redirects, and they are too good to be examples for "Jamie Martin". Any other examples other than one-term? --George Ho (talk) 19:48, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think he means one word. I agree with you that the nominator's rationale isn't correct all the time (though I would guess it is correct in >95% of cases), but that doesn't mean it isn't correct in this particular instance. Jenks24 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure what you mean. The nominator's rationale appears to be "Because it is a redirect, it cannot be the primary topic", which is patently false. I'm not clear on how that statement can be true 95% of the time, but not true the other 5%. PowersT21:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Jeez, I didn't say that at all well. I'll try again: I agree it is false to say "Because it is a redirect, it cannot be the primary topic", but it would be true to say "Because it is a redirect, it is unlikely be the primary topic, especially when the redirect subject is not notable enough to have a stand-alone article". Jenks24 (talk) 18:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Oppose a redirect to a list does not default as the primary topic. It is actually quite the opposite. If the title is a redirect, it more than likely doesn't meet the notability guidelines. There needs to be significant coverage in [WP:RS|reliable third party sources]] in order for a subject to meet the notability guidelines. If there isn't enough coverage to warrant a separate article, then the subject probably isn't the primary topic. A notable exception is when the redirect redirects to a notable topic under it's common name. Alpha_Quadrant(talk)23:08, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Relisting comment: The question is whether the football player is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name Jamie Martin. Somebody should present page view statistics to back or refute this claim. Favonian (talk) 10:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
