– As of tonight's results in the 2022 Ontario general election, there are now four other George Piries listed on the disambiguation page, and it's not at all clear that this one is highly meganotable enough to outprimary all of the others. Per page view stats, over the last 90 days the plain title attracted an average of just one view per day and a peak of just five views per day — and even some of that was almost certainly from people who were expecting one of the other topics on the dab page. The dab page should be the plain title here; as is so often the case, the only reason the publisher actually has the plain title is that his article was the first one to exist.

Support the artist has 40 views, the radiologist has 26 and the RAF officer has 8 compared with only 33[[1]] for the publisher. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:09, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination; Crouch, Swale and Ortizesp. There are five men listed upon the George Pirie (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the historical legacy of the 19th-century publisher looms so large as to overshadow the combined renown of the remaining four men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:13, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:07, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
