The result of the move request was moved. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Clark (golfer) → Tim Clark — Over redirect - the golfer is the primary topic on Wikipedia. A hatnote to the only other Tim Clark, Tim Clark (Emirates Airline) will be added if the page is moved. — Tewapack (talk) 17:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have redirected Tim Clark to Tim Clarke, which has 7 entries. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are four other "Tim Clark"'s (without the "e"). All have very few actual links on Wikipedia:

Tim Clark (Emirates Airline) - 12 total, 4 not through template {Navbox Emirates Group}
Tim Clark (author) - 1 link
Tim Clark (comedian) - 3 links
Tim Clark (soccer) - 1 link

The golfer has 70 links. I think the golfer is the primary topic and that this move makes sense.Tewapack (talk) 02:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Clark (golfer) → Tim Clark — Clear primary subject was established in talk Artiquities (talk) 06:15, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This one should have a full discussion given the large number of notable people with the same name. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:45, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And Tim Clarke. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added also Timothy Clark the art historian and the other T.J Clarks from that disambig page, there are quite a few now. I do not think the golfer is a clear primary over the art historian who is a major figure (although one would hardly know that from the current state of the article). So, I, for one, don't think a hatnote will do anymore. Is it really a problem to qualify the golfer with "(golfer)"? --Artiquities (talk) 10:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But the art historian goes by T. J. Clark. There are four other "Tim Clark"'s (without the "e"). All have very few actual links on Wikipedia: Tim Clark (Emirates Airline) - 12 total, 4 not through template {Navbox Emirates Group}; Tim Clark (author) - 1 link; Tim Clark (comedian) - 3 links; Tim Clark (soccer) - 1 link. The golfer has over 110 links. I think the golfer is the primary topic and that this move makes sense. As it did over a year ago. Tewapack (talk) 20:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The number of links does not determine a primary topic. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Looking at the articles for the other Tim Clarks, it is in no way clear that teh golfer is the primary topic. As an aside, it was not constructive to create a new dab page at Tim Clark when there was already one at Tim Clarke; these should ideally be re-merged. PC78 (talk) 16:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Primary topic not established. Also, the two dab pages Tim Clarke and Tim Clark need to be merged (one redirect to the other). --Born2cycle (talk) 22:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
