Bill French → Bill French (baseball) – No reason why this stub could be any more notable than Bill French (footballer), both having played a long time ago. Bill French is also the real name of Bill Warner (writer). –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 06:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, create DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 17:12, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very reasonable, support using named page as the disambiguous.Neonblak ^talk - 17:17, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination. The one-sentence stub for the 19th-century baseball player is certainly not primary. Bill French should redirect to the all-inclusive William French disambiguation page where the baseball player and the footballer are already listed. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:19, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support there is no obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here so move to Bill French (baseball) then DABify Bill French. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 19:20, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support the footballer gets more views (22) than the baseball player (11) and the writer gets 870[[1]]. Also several others at William French gets more such as William H. French getting 368[[2]]. Redirect to that DAB page per WP:DABCOMBINE. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:14, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, and redirect "Bill French" to "William French" - The baseballer is clearly not the primary topic. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 20:53, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
