Tyler Miller (soccer) → Tyler Miller – only "Tyler Miller" on wikipedia; unnecessary disambiguation Joeykai (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose - Because of the page for G. Tyler Miller. I think it best to differentiate between the two. Meatsgains (talk) 04:14, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Meatsgains, it's possible to differentiate with a WP:HATNOTE. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose the G. also known without the G. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:15, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
• Support and hatnote between Tyler Miller and G. Tyler Miller. My search for "Tyler Miller" overwhelmingly brings up the soccer player and I haven't found any evidence that the James Madison University president is known as simply Tyler Miller. This is a case where a problem is easily solved by hatnotes. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

The hatnote could read something like: This article is about the soccer player. For the university president, see G. Tyler Miller. For the Paralympian, see Canada at the 2012 Summer Paralympics.

• Oppose - I was leaning support until I noticed that there is a third notable Tyler Miller, an Paralympic basketball player from Canada. Not only that, but this Paralympic Tyler Miller is also a gold medalist ([1]). Had it not been for this case, a hatnote as suggested by Tavix would have been a splendid solution. However, since none of the Tyler Millers are a primary topic, the current disambiguation page for "Tyler Miller" is perfect as it stands.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 03:15, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Tavix, your suggestion is not illogical, but we would have to assume that the 23-year-old Tyler Miller that plays soccer is somehow more notable (i.e., the primary topic) than the Tyler Miller who is a Paralympic gold medal winner. Surely, the young TM still has a long career ahead of him that could result in him becoming the next Messi or Pele (no exaggeration intended), but at this point it is too soon to affirm he is indeed the primary topic.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 04:14, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Support. The soccer player gets around 86% of pageviews, including the dab page. That's enough for primarytopic, even given the third topic by that name now on the dab page. Note: If this RM passes, we would also move Tyler Miller to Tyler Miller (disambiguation) - the RM template should update to reflect this. Dohn joe (talk) 14:23, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose this primarytopic grab. Multiple people use this name. Dicklyon (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Not on wikipedia, only one article uses this name. Joeykai (talk) 19:23, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose The soccer player, G. Tyler and the paralympian could all be searched using this name, none of whom are clearly the primary topic. Leave it as it is. Bazonka (talk) 08:10, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Only one of those is both known as Tyler Miller and also has a wikipedia page and that is the soccer player. Joeykai (talk) 18:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Not correct. They all have Wikipedia pages (although the paralympian shares his with others). Someone may still search for them using "Tyler Miller" and end up in the wrong place. A disambiguation page at the base name is the only appropriate solution. Bazonka (talk) 09:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

• Support. This is the only article titled Tyler Miller on Wikipedia. Even a search for "Tyler Miller" "James Madison" reveals that G. Tyler Miller is rarely encountered without "G." or "George". Both he an the paralympian, who has no article, receive only a small fraction of the page views of the soccer player. This is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by any measure.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:39, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

– clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per page views [2] Joeykai (talk) 21:12, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Note: the Tyler Miller page is a dab page with significant content and is ineligible to be a new title for this article unless it is also renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 02:49, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
