This footballer isn't notable. He is a fifteen year old child who has never made a first team appearance.

Is this an example of the "sour grapes" you speak of? - Dudesleeper · Talk 00:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

pr piece[edit]

This is more of a PR piece than an encylcopedic article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.0.37 (talk) 17:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Fleck (footballer) → John Fleck – WP:TWODABS - footballer gets more than twice as many views.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 14:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 18:59, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question how does the footballer pass the second half of the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC guideline when Book references are all to John Fleck (actor)? In ictu oculi (talk) 20:44, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no single criterion for defining a primary topic. However, there are two major aspects that are commonly discussed in connection with primary topics:

A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term.
A topic is primary for a term, with respect to long-term significance, if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term.

In many cases, the topic that is primary with respect to usage is also primary with respect to long-term significance. In many other cases, only one sense of primacy is relevant. In a few cases, there is some conflict between a topic of primary usage (Apple Inc.) and one of primary long-term significance (Apple). In such a case, consensus determines which article, if any, is the primary topic.

Oppose. Page views are only an indicator, and in this case the actor has a strong claim to primary topic per long term significance as well as common usage. — Amakuru (talk) 15:38, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Page views only tell us that readers are arriving here, not that they wanted to arrive here, and in view of the significance of the other John Fleck and the fickleness of search engines they are not a sufficient case for a move. Andrewa (talk) 02:20, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
