Kendrick Johnson (basketball) → Kendrick Johnson – Only article actually named Kendrick Johnson. Jax 0677 (talk) 00:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. We have Death of Kendrick Johnson to which Kendrick Johnson currently redirects. I'm neutral on whether to make it a disambiguation page, but the basketball player is not the primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - The article Death of Kendrick Johnson is about an event and is not actually named "Kendrick Johnson" while the article about the former American professional basketball player is actually about the person. --Jax 0677 (talk) 12:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which is utterly irrelevant to our naming conventions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose the death article has 23,876 views compared with only 236[[1]] for the basketballer. Unlike say WP:SONGDAB where songs which are often only mentioned in the target are usually not considered much in primary topic cases the article about the death discusses the person in detail.

Oppose per above. No evidence that the professional basketball player is notable at all. 162 etc. (talk) 20:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
