Requested move 9 April 2018 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the first article to John Longworth (lawyer), but no consensus to move the other article to the plain title; I have created a first draft of a disambiguation page for the two articles. Dekimasuよ! 01:10, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

– The businessman appears to have greater notability. Unreal7 (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. John Longworth (lawyer) does appear to be rather obscure. Edwardx (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support 1st move, but oppose 2nd move per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Neither of these people seems to be the primary topic for the name "John Longworth". The businessman has more notability now, but that's largely because the controversy that led to his notability occurred very recently (March 2016). The page views tool shows that, although the businessman has received more traffic in the time since his article was created, the amount of traffic has been very unstable, and has at times dipped to levels not too far above the political figure. It is likely that in the long term, neither person will be the primary topic.

Thus, I propose that we move John Longworth to John Longworth (lawyer), and create a disambiguation page at John Longworth. –IagoQnsi (talk) 23:45, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support 1st move, but oppose 2nd move per IagoQnsi. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:19, 10 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support both moves, per WP:TWODABS and this pageview analysis. The businessman gets ten times as many views as the lawyer. Nine Zulu queens (talk) 07:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support 1st move; oppose 2nd move per IagoQnsi. Make John Longworth into disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
