- John Finnemore (writer) → John Finnemore
- John Finnemore → John Finnemore (disambiguation)
– There are currently articles at
John Finnemore (author), with a disambiguation at John Finnemore
.
Since July 2015 or article creation, pageviews are as follows:
- John Finnemore has 9,979
- John Finnemore (author) has 5,369
- John Finnemore (writer) has 173,665
Which I think demonstrates that
John Finnemore (author) receives about half the page views that the disambiguation page gets. I don't think either can easily be ascribed greater long term significance, but I think the usage differential is sufficient to move the page. Ralbegen (talk) 22:17, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

- Rename to John Finnemore (writer, born 1863). The current naming is clearly ludicrous, given all authors are by definition writers. But the former is probably only primary due to recentism. I don't think there's any real primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:23, 24 October 2018 (UTC)]
- WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and it's clear that most people coming to the encyclopedia are after the living Finnemore. I'm not sure that recentism is something an affliction that's too useful for a page that's primary by usage. Ralbegen (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)]
- To be honest, I'm less bothered about one being primary than I am about the non-existent disambiguation. I don't have an especial problem with the living Finnemore becoming primary topic, but the other one should still be moved to John Finnemore (writer, born 1863). -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:40, 24 October 2018 (UTC)]

- Support moving this one to 'John Finnemore' per WP:NCPDAB, 'John Finnemore (born 1863)' seems sufficient to me. -- Qwfp (talk) 19:47, 24 October 2018 (UTC)]
- Support Per Qwfp. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:51, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose as propose This doesn't deal with the problem of "(author)". Both "(author)" and "(writer)" need to be renamed, since the disambiguators are bad, as both write, and are authors of written material. Rename per Necrothesp -- 65.94.42.18 (talk) 04:26, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- This proposal is about the living Finnemore being the primary topic by usage. I'd be happy to see the "(author)" disambiguation also changed, though my preference would be for "John Finnemore (born 1863)" as proposed by Qwfp above. Ralbegen (talk) 10:57, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
