– The significant BBC journalist is clearly the primary topic. Andysmith248 (talk) 19:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. DannyS712 (talk) 19:22, 12 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - I don't see a strong case for primary in long term page views. There are occasional spikes of interest, but tends to return to a baseline which is close to the actor/comedian. I think we're better in the long term to keep these disambiguated. -- Netoholic @ 06:08, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Weak oppose per Netoholic's page views, Kamal Ahmed (comedian) gets not that far off half views and the others combined don't get a considerable amount less. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:56, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Malformed - target is dab page / Oppose no case for PT In ictu oculi (talk) 11:44, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
I have now correctly formatted to as a multi-move to put the DAB at Kamal Ahmed (disambiguation). Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:19, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per Netoholic, Crouch, Swale and In ictu oculi. Not clearly primary. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Weak support. In spite of the inconsistant page views (and excluding any partial name matches), the journalist still gets around two thirds of the page views and is always the most sought after topic. PC78 (talk) 23:57, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support per PC78. It's clear looking at the stats that the journalist has been top of the list, in fact for a while. The comedian/actor does not stand side by side to the journalist in terms of noteworthiness. Buster Reynolds (talk) 17:28, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose what bothers me most here is peaking, that when the journalist is off air he gets same hits as the comedian. Given that, let readers choose. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:40, 13 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support. Per nom. Unreal7 (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
