Lewis Stevenson (Scottish footballer) → Lewis Stevenson – I fixed almost all the links after moving the politican, who was quite obviously not the primary topic. In fact, some of the links towards him were actually for the Scottish footballer. Of all four Lewis Stevensons, only the Scottish footballer's page isn't a stub; it is thoroughly referenced, unlike the other three. The Scottish footballer has played over 300 games for his club (a very rare achievement in Scotland) and is the only Hibs player to win both the Scottish Cup and League Cup. Conversely, the Australian footballer played less than 20 games in six years, the rugby player's bio consists of one unreferenced paragraph, and the politician's references consist of two notes and a biography page. Finally, since February, the Scotsman has been viewed more than 5 times more often than his counterparts.[1]Unreal7 (talk) 15:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – You are correct that the politician can't be considered the primary topic, however neither is the Scottish footballer, irrespective of his achievements and the quality of sourcing in various articles. Accordingly, Lewis Stevenson should be the dab page. Besides, you were a bit cavalier in making him the primary topic prior to discussion, and you didn't even provide a hatnote to the other people. I added one now, pending consensus here. I also disambiguated a few links to Lewis Stevenson that you skipped. — JFGtalk 10:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done – I closed this and moved the dab page to Lewis Stevenson per WP:SNOW because consensus was clear in above discussion. — JFGtalk 05:24, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
