Harry Shannon → Harry Shannon (writer) – Addition of parenthetical qualifier to the main title header for the writer of songs and prose will enable creation of the Harry Shannon disambiguation page which would include Harry Shannon (actor). As of this writing, there are 31 article links flowing to Harry Shannon, but 13 of those should actually flow to Harry Shannon (actor). — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:24, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: page view history seems to support moving the article about the writer to a different title. However, since this is a WP:TWODABS situation, perhaps the actor should be considered primary and no disambiguation page is needed. Also, since the writer has also been a songwriter and entertainer and may be better known for those activites, "(writer)" may not be the best choice. I suggest considering "(songwriter)". —BarrelProof (talk) 13:33, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support given the actor has more views but that could be recentism so a DAB is probably best, also per User:Andrewa/Incoming links. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. No clear primary topic. Create disambiguation page at basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:57, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
