– Back in 2019 there was an undiscussed primary-topic grab from this much more notable William Timmons in favor of the SC politician, via WP:RMTR. This should be summarily undone, but it's been a while, so let's discuss. Dicklyon (talk) 03:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:55, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Consensus against the first proposal, but there may be a consensus for the second. Relisting for additional discussion on moving William Timmons to William Timmons (politician) and creating a dabpage at William Timmons BilledMammal (talk) 05:55, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning toward support for the 2nd article move: There is a major WP:RECENTISM factor here. The lobbyist is 92 years old and retired, and the politician is 38 and currently holding office. 54 years from now when the politician is 92, he may be largely forgotten. A quick look at the two articles does not show any extra-special distinguishing accomplishments (or embarrassments) for the politician that would outlast those of the lobbyist in the long term. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:39, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
