Oppose. There are nine men listed upon the Frank Clark disambiguation page, with little indication that the renown of the American football player has reached such overwhelming levels that it dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining eight men.Neutral. —Roman Spinner(talk • contribs) 17:27, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:TonyTheTiger, I tend to be reluctant in supporting primary topics, especially in cases of common names and/or WP:RECENTISM, although in this case, as you point out, the football player's pageviews extend over some 5 years. Taking into account that the football player does indeed receive a relatively high number of pageviews and also the fact that my vote has so far remained as the only one, I am striking "Oppose" and replacing it with "Neutral". —Roman Spinner(talk • contribs) 00:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Given how many there are, he would have to have overwhelmingly more long-term significance than the others to be primary, and he has not. Remember that American football is not a global sport and most people outside the US will never even have heard of him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
