Alexander Sims (racing driver) → Alexander Sims — I think that racecar driver more commonly known than politician who named Alexander D. Sims, because he is in the first ten pages of Google. Cybervoron (talk) 07:38, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose — "in the first ten pages of Google" is not a valid assertion of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Please see WP:GOOGLE. Also, I've edited the Alexander Sims page to be an actual disambiguation page. Please see WP:DAB for the guidelines on the use of disambiguation pages. Thanks.

• Oppose - As above. Cs-wolves(talk) 15:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
• Support - Regardless of Google, the politician is called Alexander D. Sims rather than Alexander Sims so therefore the racing driver should have Alexander Sims to himself with a disambiguation link to the politician. - mspete93 [talk] 17:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

  The middle initial "D." is used in "Alexander D. Sims" as a disambiguator. There are guidelines in place to determine how pages are disambiguated guys. I realize that fandom creates a certain amount of passion, but you've all got to realize what you're on Wikipedia and not some fan site. You have to work with the rest of the encyclopedia.

  Sorry, my knowledge of 19th century U.S. politics is a bit patchy. I wasn't aware the D was just a disambiguator. If he is commonly referred to as Alexander Sims then I have no problem. - mspete93 [talk] 16:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose — I am not persuaded that there is any primary topic here. --Una Smith (talk) 05:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
