Primary topic[edit]

Is Juan Ponce de León the primary topic for this name? I'd say he pretty clearly is from an American perspective – he's the only one all children are taught about in school.

If he is primary then this dab should be moved to Ponce de León (disambiguation), and this and all related spellings should be re-pointed to Juan Ponce de León, with a hatnote pointing back to the dab.

If he's not primary then he should be moved out of the lead and into the People section. Nick Number (talk) 16:15, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From a British perspective, I agree that Juan is WP:PTOPIC. I wasn't taught about him in school, but know him (and only him) as Ponce de León. Narky Blert (talk) 14:05, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, too, and I already tweaked the text a bit to make the description of "the" Ponce de Leon at the top read more like a primary topic. --Zeng8r (talk) 16:54, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Consensus to move. ~~I moved the disambig page but need an admin to move Juan Ponce de León to the main title, because it is move-protected.~~ — JFG ^talk 12:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh you're right; I just have to redirect Ponce de León then. How silly of me!
