– The actor was a relatively minor personality with no claim to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. He is, however, the sole "Michael Granger" with a Wikipedia entry since there is no indication that either Mike Granger or Mick Granger have been known to the public as Michael Granger. A past Talk:David Zimmer#Requested move 19 May 2015 voted to keep minor political figure David Zimmer as the primary topic of the David Zimmer (disambiguation) page because he is the sole "David Zimmer" with a Wikipedia entry. Another proposal might put forth the deletion of the Michael Granger dab page, thus eliminating the need for the qualifier "(actor)". Hatnotes would, of course, attend to any name uncertainties.     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 18:02, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Minor" is a relative term, which is not always meant to be understood pejoratively, with many local politicians receiving multiple Gnews and Gbook mentions without qualifying for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. However, if another David Zimmer, even if he was a forgotten 19th century cricketer, received a Wikipedia stub, the dab page would most likely return to the base name. There is no guarantee, however — a retired political figure, Bob Brown, known only in his native Australia, is still the primary topic over 21 other Bob Browns at Talk:Bob Brown#Requested move 6 January 2017.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 15:30, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
