Jake Olson (gridiron football) → Jake Olson – Though this is not a particularly notable football player, he should take the primary topic for the title "Jake Olson" as he is the only article with this name. Jake Olson is currently a redirect to Thor (Marvel Comics), as Thor at one time in the comics was bound to a mortal named Jake Olson. This does not seem to be a common name for Thor, so any confusion could be solved using a hatnote. Natg 19 (talk) 01:09, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment why not make a DAB at base name, I don't know if there's a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Ortizesp (talk) 01:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- In my opinion, the redirect to Thor is an obscure reference that only fans of Thor would know about, so it makes sense to me to move this page to the main topic. Additionally, a dab page is not necessary per WP:ONEOTHER. Natg 19 (talk) 01:51, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - The football player doesn't seem so significant long-term either, he played in the CFL for only 2 or 3 seasons. Neither seems particularly convincing as primary topic in my opinion.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No opinion (however, the footballer does get more than 95% of pageviews), but if it's not moved, I agree with Ortizesp that there should be a dab page at the basename per above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support The Thor connection is too trivial to justify it being the primary topic. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 04:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support The football player is the clear PRIMARYTOPIC for Jake Olson; a hatnote can handle anyone turning up here looking for the Thor storyline. Mackensen (talk) 13:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support move. This is a TWODABS situation. O.N.R. ^(talk) 22:23, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
