• Matt Walsh → Matt Walsh (disambiguation)
• Matt Walsh (comedian) → Matt Walsh

– The comedian is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Over the past five years, the comedian has been the most viewed Matt Walsh article by a large margin. The views for basketball player exceeded the views for the comedian only 5 days. I also think that it's common sense that an Emmy nominated actor, who is still acting, has more long-term significance than a retired journeyman basketball player.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 00:20, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-08-06T00:20:00.000Z","author":"Bait30","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bait30-2020-08-06T00:20:00.000Z-Requested_move_6_August_2020","replies":["c-Shhhnotsoloud-2020-08-06T14:19:00.000Z-Bait30-2020-08-06T00:20:00.000Z","c-BD2412-2020-08-08T01:20:00.000Z-Bait30-2020-08-06T00:20:00.000Z","c-Walter_G\u00f6rlitz-2020-08-12T06:08:00.000Z-Bait30-2020-08-06T00:20:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Support. Smoothed out to "monthly", the page view statistics are very clear that the comedian is the primary topic.

• Support, per nom. Visits to the disambiguation page also outpace those to the basketball player, suggesting that more readers who find themselves on the disambiguation page make their way to the comedian as their intended search target. I would suggest that if this move is effected, the hatnote should signal "This is the article about the comedian. For the basketball player, see Matt Walsh (basketball). For other uses, see Matt Walsh (disambiguation)".

• Matt Walsh (disambiguation) → Matt Walsh
• Matt Walsh → Matt Walsh (comedian)

– The article about the comedian is very clearly no longer the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. When I google "Matt Walsh", I almost exclusively get results about the political commentator, and the article about the political commentator also gets more page views than the article about the comedian.

• Support per nomination. There are five men listed upon the Matt Walsh (disambiguation) page, with no indication that Matt Walsh (comedian)'s renown is so evident that it rises above the combined prominence of the four other men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 09:09, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-05-31T09:09:00.000Z","author":"Roman Spinner","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Roman_Spinner-2022-05-31T09:09:00.000Z-Endwise-2022-05-31T06:15:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
• Move first to Matt Walsh (disambiguation) → Matthew Walsh, support second. All of the entries legal names are Matthew, so I think it'd be more appropirate if DAb was at Matthew Walsh.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:04, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-05-31T20:04:00.000Z","author":"Ortizesp","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ortizesp-2022-05-31T20:04:00.000Z-Endwise-2022-05-31T06:15:00.000Z","replies":["c-Roman_Spinner-2022-05-31T23:05:00.000Z-Ortizesp-2022-05-31T20:04:00.000Z"]}}-->

I am striking "per nomination" in my "support" vote and join Ortizesp's support for the move of Matt Walsh (disambiguation) → Matthew Walsh, which currently redirects to the comedian, thus forcing the sole main title header "Matthew" — a one-sentence stub for Matthew Walsh (cyclist) — to need the parenthetical qualifier "(cyclist)". If there is consensus for the proposed move, Matt Walsh can then serve as a redirect to the Matthew Walsh dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:05, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-05-31T23:05:00.000Z","author":"Roman Spinner","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Roman_Spinner-2022-05-31T23:05:00.000Z-Ortizesp-2022-05-31T20:04:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The comedian's article lists (under "References") 10 inline cites and (under "External links") three websites that serve as sources, with none of those referencing the comedian as "Matthew Walsh". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-06-03T18:49:00.000Z","author":"Roman Spinner","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Roman_Spinner-2022-06-03T18:49:00.000Z-SWinxy-2022-06-02T00:28:00.000Z","replies":["c-SWinxy-2022-06-03T19:19:00.000Z-Roman_Spinner-2022-06-03T18:49:00.000Z"]}}-->
