William Byron (racing driver) → William Byron – The most notable person named “William Byron” and only one of two who’s name is not distinguished from others, such as William D. Byron, and the third, fourth, and fifth Baron Byrons. MountainDew20 (talk) 01:27, 20 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 11:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely support move, he's definitely the primary person people would be look up. Obviously the William Byron page would be moved to include (disambiguation) as well! Gatemansgc (TɅ̊LK) 18:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. No primary topic here by long-term significance. Pure WP:RECENTISM. And nobody not interested in stock car racing would be likely to have even heard of him. As has been pointed out numerous times before, just because one person has a middle initial or name or a title does not mean a person without is automatically primary. That would just be silly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per @Necrothesp. RegalZ8790 (talk) 02:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
