Royston Smith (politician) → Royston Smith – 27,704 views vs. 453 views.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 21:16, 24 May 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 05:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Political figure with with no international or, apparently, domestic renown. Not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:26, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The oppose !vote misunderstands the meaning of primary topic. A page must not reach some arbitrary threshold of renown to be the primary. It's about relativity to other pages with the same name. In this case, all signs show a very obvious primary. A hatnote will resolve the TWODABS situation.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:01, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. An overwhelming WP:primary topic. There's no point in having a dab page in a WP:TWODABS situation like this. Station1 (talk) 21:45, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Verifiability and neutrality[edit]

The statements that have been reintroduced in Special:Diff/915192762/915395874 do not seem to be written in a neutral tone to me; I'd like to see an inline citation that directly supports these additions (WP:BURDEN). ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:37, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The neutral tone of this statement is supported on page 8 of the inline citation - 'MPS Outside Interests': "A majority of MPs do not hold remunerated outside interests". ^[1] The additions are further supported by the inline citation of UK Parliaments' Register of Financial Interests. ~ Zemedia (talk) 16:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
