Morgan WadeMorgan Wade (athlete) – Most of the Google search results related to this name appear to be about a different person; she has no article just yet but in 2 years or so she might. For anyone who says "Oppose" to this move I recommend you include "for the same reason I opposed this move" if such a story is valid. Georgia guy (talk) 17:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. Disambiguation is only required if there is another topic discussed on Wikipedia that would make the title ambiguous. There seems to be no other such topic discussed on Wikipedia, so no clear need at the current time. Please come back after there is a (well justified) Wikipedia article about the other person. Also, the Morgan Wade is not involved in the Sport of athletics, so a different disambiguation term should probably be used if we want one. I don't understand the last sentence of the nominator's rationale. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, until Morgan Wade (musician) is written, this is premature. 162 etc. (talk) 18:13, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment. What about if a draft for the other person is created without being aware of this article's existence?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:17, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose per BarrelProof, 162 etc. and Ortizesp. Preemptive disambiguation of this nature is counterintuitive and would leave us either with a one-man Morgan Wade disambiguation page or with Morgan Wade redirecting to Morgan Wade (cyclist) ["(cyclist)", not "(athlete)", is the qualifier most-commonly used at Category:American male cyclists]. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 02:11, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • If the other person, as far as I can see an is notable then I'd create the article but otherwise can you show that they're notable now in which case WP:PRIMARYRED would apply, if not I oppose. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose per all above. And he's not an athlete. "BMX rider" is the preferred disambiguator. See Category:BMX riders. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:34, 8 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
