Michael Hardy (attorney)Michael Hardy – Although the singer's full name is Michael Hardy, there doesn't seem to be widespread use of that name in reference to him, as he's usually credited as just Hardy. Therefore, this can be presumed to be the primary topic for "Michael Hardy" Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 01:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

Disambiguate. The singer has three orders of magnitude more pageviews than the attorney. When I searched the web for "Michael Hardy", the top six results were evenly split between the two. As you said, the attorney is commonly referred to as "Michael Hardy" and the singer is not. Given all this, I think there's just no primary topic. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:40, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment i am leaning towards disambiguation because there is no primary topic in this case since the singer does have its own natural disambiguation but it is not to justify that michael hardy obviously refers to the attorney either. Jorahm (talk) 16:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Disambiguation is useful here given the singer's sheer relative notoreity Mrfoogles (talk) 07:18, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
