Andy Fisher → Andy Fisher (rugby league) – There are now two Andy Fishers on Wikipedia, the other is Andy Fisher (footballer), both articles are probably not good enough to be WP:PRIMARY WP:PRIMARYTOPIC at this point. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

• Support per nom. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
• Strong support Andy Fisher (footballer) gets 2,434 views, Andrew Fisher gets 1,858, Andrew Fisher (political activist) gets 328, Andrew Fisher (sprinter) gets 38, Andrew Fisher (physicist) gets 37, Andrew Fisher (Scrabble) gets 34 and Andrew Fisher (Shazam) gets 3 compared with only 88[[1]] for the rugby league player. Also I'd move Andrew Fisher to Andrew Fisher (politician) or Andrew Fisher (Australian politician). Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:26, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom, redirect "Andy Fisher" to Andrew Fisher (disambiguation).--Ortizesp (talk) 18:53, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
• Support and move Andy Fisher (footballer) → Andy Fisher. User:Crouch, Swale has presented good evidence that the footballer article has vastly more views than the rugby leaguer article. There's no reason we should shove the Andys in with the Andrews, though, if that's not how they're known. We can have separate primarytopics for the different forms (for example, see separate dabs/articles for Don Smith, Donald Smith, Donnie Smith). Dohn joe (talk) 19:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

  I would point out that 2,434 v 1,858 is not a significant different but we don't know how much difference there is between "Andy" and "Andrew" though, they are the same name per WP:DABCOMBINE but may be different per SMALLDETAILS if only 1 commonly uses 1 form. I'd just have no PT for both forms and anyway we would need to fix the links first and PT swaps can cause external link problems. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:20, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

• support proposed move as there is no PRIMARYTOPIC, but also support redirecting 'Andy Fisher' to the dab page. GiantSnowman 21:48, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
• Nominators comment I have realised I've linked the wrong page in the nomination re WP:PRIMARY. Seeing GiantSnowman's comment here makes me realise something might not have been right with the page linking. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
