Dominic Iorfa → Dominic Iorfa (footballer, born 1968) – There is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. Iorfa jr has played over 200 football league matches whilst Iorfa sr played less than 80.

Support as there is no PRIMARYTOPIC. Giant Snowman 19:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - the Nigerian footballer was capped at international level and played at the highest league level in England, Belgium and Turkey, whereas the younger player has only turned out for second-tier clubs and the youth teams of England. Beware WP:RECENTISM here, this looks like a clear case of long-term significance in a WP:TWODABS situation. — Amakuru (talk) 21:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom, no PRIMARY. The Nigerian footballer played at a higher level sure, but he also doesn't dominate page views and got less coverage - even if it's not "fair".--Ortizesp (talk) 18:08, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support the 1995 one has 850 views compared with only 308[[1]] for the 1968 one so not primary by usage but possibly per long-term significance. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support per nomination, GiantSnowman, Ortizesp and Crouch, Swale. Also support creation of a Dominic Iorfa disambiguation page that would list Dominic Iorfa (footballer, born 1968) as well as Dominic Iorfa (footballer, born 1995). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:52, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
