The result of the move request was: Moved. I'll put the dab page to Kevin Green, since that is the natural title and it covers both variants.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply


– Clear primary topic by usage (35x the pageviews of all others with this or similar names) and significance (Pro Football Hall of Fame). Hameltion (talk | contribs) 05:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Alternative move the disambiguation page to Kevin Green -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 21:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • I don't think it matters too much but just pointing out that there are 5 Greene's and 3 Green's at the dab page. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Support Kevin Green. For similar names, I think our de facto criteria (in order of precedence) are: 1) If one name is a short version of another, prefer the long version regardless of primary topics or number of occurrences, the rationale being that "Mike Johnson" is almost always a "Michael Johnson" but "Michael Johnson" is not necessarily a "Mike Johnson". 2) Avoid parenthetical disambiguation when possible. 3) Choose the one with the more occurrences. -- King of ♥ 01:11, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nomination. This appears to be a case where both meanings of "primary topic" described in WP:PTOPIC converge on the same person, so this is a no-brainer. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
