The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Unanimous support to Move. Will be moved to Scott Galloway (soccer) per WP:NCSP and create a DAB page at basename (non-admin closure) >>> Extorc.talk 07:35, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Scott Galloway → Scott Galloway (footballer) – It seems highly dubious that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC when it has 700 pageviews in the past month compared to 18,000 for Scott Galloway (professor).

If (footballer) isn't the typical way we dab footballers, feel free to correct me. And if anyone wants to suggest that the professor Scott Galloway is the primary topic and should be moved to this title, I'm open to hearing the argument. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support and would also support either making the professor the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, with a hatnote pointing to the footballer, or the creation of a Scott Galloway disambiguation page that would list Scott Galloway (professor) as well as Scott Galloway (footballer)/Scott Galloway (soccer)/Scott Galloway (Australian soccer), whichever is the most appropriate, per the inconsistent qualifiers under Category:Australian soccer players. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 10:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support. The gulf in pageviews suggests to me that Scott Galloway (professor) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but I would also find it acceptable to set up a DAB at the primary title. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:52, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Strong support if anything the other is primary. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:18, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support move to Scott Galloway (soccer) - page views is not indicative of primary topic, but agree neither article is, so it makes sense to move the soccer player (as this is Australia, and 'football' is a different sport there) and create a dab at the base page.

Support move to Scott Galloway (soccer) as per WP:NCSP, and create DAB at basename.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:30, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support per GiantSnowman and Ortizesp's reasons (i.e. identifier being soccer not footballer). Many people probably heard of the professor better than the soccer player in general even if the past month seems to be a good sample of pageviews. The professor one was created in 2017 which is why the soccer one never had an identifier. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:39, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
