– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC; it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:F168:8127:FB49:B85C (talk) 20:25, 4 August 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2603:7000:2101:AA00:3189:4C7F:978A:17A2 (talk) 19:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: pages with content, such as Patrick Bailey, are ineligible to be proposed titles in move requests unless they, too, are formally dispositioned. "Patrick Bailey → Patrick Bailey (disambiguation)" has been added to this request to meet that requirement. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 00:40, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's no rule that the current dab page has to be moved too. The implication of the original request was that the dab page would be deleted as unnecessary, with the football player and possibly coach linked from a hatnote. But moving the dab page to a new title doesn't really hurt anything, as long as the baseball player is moved. Station1 (talk) 05:21, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [reply]

Thanks, Station1. Yes, my intended request (I'm the requestor) is that the baseball player be viewed when someone types in the name. With one (possibly two) hatnotes to the football player (and possibly coach - who may well not even be notable.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:2495:2EC:CC85:878B (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. There's only one other Patrick Bailey, and one Pat Bailey, and pageviews indicate the baseball player is the overwhelming primary topic. Station1 (talk) 23:47, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm neutral on primary topic, as I've never heard of any of them, but naturally the disambiguation page would have to be moved to Patrick Bailey (disambiguation) as all three men are called Patrick Bailey. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
