– No WP:PTOPIC. Thomas Sewell (Australian neo-Nazi) has averaged 40 daily page views over the past eight years (the article was created in March 2021; since then it has averaged 159 views). Thomas Sewell has averaged 5 daily page views. There are also three Tom Sewells and one Tommy Sewell. There could potentially also be some confusion with Thomas Sowell. page views.

• Support per nomination. There are six men listed upon the Thomas Sewell (disambiguation) page, with the relatively brief article delineating the English judge, Member of Parliament and Master of the Rolls, who died 239 years ago, not rising to a level of notability sufficient to dwarf the combined renown of the remaining five men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:44, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
• https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Thomas_Sewell indicates 111 incoming views and 26 go to the disambiguation hatnote (~23%), with no other link combination getting more than 10 clicks to get shown. I wouldn't say the statistics necessarily show a lack of primary topic by usage, though it is moot. By long term significance, however, I wouldn't say a fringe activist and the sportspeople compare to a high-level politician. Then again I disambiguated a lot of politician names myself because they tend to get undue weight. This is probably safe to disambiguate, even though if it effectively creates a small kind of a promotion for the fringe activist. --Joy (talk) 08:46, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
