– No primary topic for this name. Natg 19 (talk) 20:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. There are three men named "William Post" listed upon the William Post (disambiguation) page, with no indication that one of them was renowned to such a degree as to exceed the combined notability of the remaining two men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and Roman Spinner. Skynxnex (talk) 21:59, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator. No clear primary topic for this name, so the safest bet is to have the disambiguation page at the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=William_Post indicates 674 incoming views, and only 12 identified outgoing clickstreams to another topic, so the hatnote clicks were under the anonymization threshold at best. All-time monthly page views for these topics doesn't clearly indicate much, either. A couple of the spikes in traffic correlated with traffic to Bill Post, a couple didn't. As the long-term significance of a lottery winner is not particularly clear, disambiguation seems like a safe choice here. --Joy (talk) 15:36, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per nom. 162 etc. (talk) 17:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article is essentially orphaned, and may be a candidate for WP:AFD, per WP:NOTNEWS. 162 etc. (talk) 17:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:23, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I thought I already added my opinion, but this William Post is no more important than the William Post who helped invent Pop-Tarts. I might be a bit biased as I helped write the Pop-Tarts William Post, but this guy's not the main William Post. ❤History Theorist❤ 04:20, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
