– No primary topic of the same name. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 01:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 17:53, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose, at least until we have an opportunity to see if the actor or the attorney general is a more popular topic. Right now, it's a WP:TWODABS situation, adequately handled by a hatnote. Dohn joe (talk) 15:08, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Support, no demonstration of absolute majority topic. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Support & Oppose - Support the Edwin Maxwell (actor) and oppose renaming the disambig page. Why? KISS. Jrcrin001 (talk) 02:46, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Well, because Edwin Maxwell has to point somewhere. If it doesn't go to the actor, then the usual rules of WP would say that it should go to the disambiguation page. If the actor is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Edwin Maxwell", then that's where the title should go. Dohn joe (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Support. when the putative WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is barely a three-sentence stub with a filmography, the change should be made without even a discussion. If there is an objection (there rarely is) a vote can be held. Such votes, however, are always at a disadvantage — once a disambiguation page loses its minor-notability "primary topic", few, if any, will vote to restore a small-part character actor to such a position. Starting from the present position, however, there is always the possibility of arriving at "no consensus". —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 17:38, 15 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
