– A minor historical figure who died 114 years ago and whose positioning as the sole "William Ziegler" became hard to defend upon creation of an entry for three-time Academy Award nominee William Ziegler (film editor). — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:01, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom - no clear primary topic. When in doubt, move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:52, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Weak support. Pageviews for the industrialist are most likely inflated due to the article being at the base name, and are not so dominant to make him a clear primary topic. PC78 (talk) 14:58, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - too soon. Prior to the last two days, the current topic got over 90% of pageviews (even including Willi Ziegler). While I think that WP:RECENTISM is horrendously overapplied in RM situations, this is one time I think we should wait at least a couple of weeks to see where the numbers will start to settle. It's possible that the film editor will be the new primarytopic, or the disambiguation page could be better be at the basename. Let's revisit then. Dohn joe (talk) 15:49, 21 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
- @Dohn joe: The film editor's article was moved from William H. Ziegler prior to this nom, so your graph should look like this. PC78 (talk) 17:16, 21 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
