John Neilson → John Neilson (politician) – no clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Joeykai (talk) 02:16, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose John Neilson → John Neilson (politician) (John Neilson (colonel) was also a politician), but would support John Neilson → John Neilson (Canadian politician) and would furthermore support John Neilson (disambiguation) → John Neilson. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this, DAB at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support since the colonel has nearly as many views (92) as this one (98)[[1]] but I'd use Canadian politician per Roman Spinner. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but using "Canadian politician". -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:01, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
