• Since Michael Larson (businessman) is the only extant actual article with such a name (according to this disambiguation page), doesn't it become the primary topic by default? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Reply - Not necessarily, however, I am willing to entertain moving Michael Larson (businessman) to Michael Larson. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose, Michael Larson is a justified primary redirect. 162 etc. (talk) 23:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Reply - How is Michael Larson a justified primary redirect? --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    Per WP:DPT, we determine a primary topic per pageviews and long-term significance. Michael Larson's appearance on Press Your Luck is more notable than anything Michael Larson (businessman) has done, and pageviews for the game show contestant are over 70%. See also Talk:Michael Larson#Requested move 22 March 2024. 162 etc. (talk) 04:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose and also speedy revert the move that did not find consensus at WP:RM. To state again: this was not a scandal, there are sources on Michael Larson the person, there is zero indication that Larson "cheated". Actually, looking more closely, this wasn't even a move but a copy and paste! Revert everything here. SnowFire (talk) 14:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Procedural comment: I've undid the bold redirect (which, if done at all, it'd have been nice if the RM participants had at least been pinged...). diff . Presumably this means that if this RM were to close as move (I don't think it should), then the article restored to Michael Larson would move to Michael Larson (game show contestant) or the like.
