Robbie Anderson → Robbie Anderson (footballer) – not a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Joeykai (talk) 15:06, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support and page views would probably make the American football player PRIMARY. We can either move Robbie Anderson (American football) to base name, or redirect Robbie Anderson to DAB at Robert Anderson.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support per nomination and Ortizesp. Robbie Anderson is a one-sentence stub and, since both Robbie Anderson and Robbie Anderson (American football) are named "Robert", "Robbie Anderson" should indeed redirect to the Robert Anderson disambiguation page. However, since there are listings for only two notable men named "Robbie Anderson" among the very numerous listings for men named "Robert Anderson" and the notability of Robbie Anderson (American football) does surpass that of Robbie Anderson, would also not oppose Robbie Anderson → Robbie Anderson (footballer) and Robbie Anderson (American football) → Robbie Anderson with a hatnote pointing to Robbie Anderson (footballer) as well as to the Robert Anderson dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:23, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Strong support while the other is active and this one died in 1996 the other has 10,960 views compared with only 120[[1]] for this one so its likely if anything the other is primary even factoring long-term significance in but redirect to DAB per Roman Spinner.

Support - no PRIMARYTOPIC, and redirect base page to the Robert Anderson disambiguation page. Giant Snowman 16:44, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose moving to the footballer title, though I would support a move to Robbie Anderson (English footballer) as footballer alone is ambiguous. But agree with the primary status. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 13:51, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
