The result of the move request was: Moved (t · c) buidhe 23:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– No clear primary topic, the coach has 32 views but Matthew Silva (footballer) has 16, Matt Silva (soccer) (who's name is also "Matthew Silva") has 516 and Buddy Matthews who's ring name was "Matt Silva" has 52,667[[1]]. Google also doesn't appear to show a clear primary topic though don't appear to return the wrestler. The pageviews make it unlikely the coach is primary as 32 v 16 isn't a clear primary topic and even if the soccer player was called "Matthew" rather than "Matt" only 1 in 16 times the soccer player would be almost as likely and even if almost no one called the wrestler "Matthew Silva" he would also be reasonably likely. See also Talk:Matt Silva (soccer)#Requested move 26 January 2022 where there was a consensus for no primary topic for the "Matt" version but the points raised there also suggest no primary topic for the "Matthew" version.

Support per nomination. There are four men listed upon the Matthew Silva (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the rugby union coach has attained such renown that it overwhelms the combined notability of the remaining three men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:15, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
