– There is no main primary topic for this name. I don't think that this American football running back should take precedence over the rugby union player or the wide receiver of the same name. Natg 19 (talk) 10:37, 16 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I beg to differ. He is known, more widely, than the rugby player, as well as the wide receiver of the same name. So, until either one of them warrant it, I would leave the running back at Ryan Grant. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 11:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nomination. It does not appear that the running back has such overwhelming notability that it would enable him to maintain far higher positioning than the two other same-named sports figures. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 07:03, 17 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. Pageviews do not clearly support "A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term." per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

@Shhhnotsoloud:, can you clarify your comment? I'm not clear if you are in favor of the move, or not. Natg 19 (talk) 05:58, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I support the proposed moves because I agree there is no clear primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support a dab page at the base term. The other American football player is the most prominent, if anything. A dab page is best though since it might not be obvious when the wrong player is being linked to. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:09, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
