Support based on stat tool above.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 14:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. This stat tool has a woeful batting average elsewhere. Why should we think it's reliable here? Is there other evidence that one of the three sportspeople famous under this nickname is the primary meaning of this name? Andrewa (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It is not that the stat tool has a woeful batting average. It is that people are not trying to view the things one might thing are the primary topic.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Jumbo Elliott (American football) does not get the 90% of views that are generally required to make it the primary subject. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 18:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for now. Using the stats tool as the sole basis for determining a primary topic is solipsistic. At the very least there needs to be a broader discussion of the appropriateness of using that tool. older ≠ wiser 18:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the dab page was moved on January 29th and all traffic stats before that are biased.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 14:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
