Oppose Less than 3 months after the article was created and he's the "clear primary topic"? Classic case of recentism. We've got a minor singer and a minor golfer. Let's leave it for a year or two and then see. Maybe the golfer is headed for great things, maybe not. Nigej (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sam Ryder (singer) has been famous for what, a bit over a month now? Neither article is the primary topic at this point. JIP | Talk23:13, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I understand that these things are fluid but at the moment we can't circumvent WP:CRYSTAL with regards to what might be more significant or popular in the future. doktorbwordsdeeds 14:43, 12 June 2022 (UTC

Sam Ryder (singer) → Sam Ryder – I believe that Ryder is the clear primary topic when using the "Sam Ryder" name. This was requested last year but the page had only been created within the three months prior and Ryder was only famous for being on Eurovision. He is now much more famous and well-known, and his article is now well over a year old, so I believe he is now the primary topic and his article should be renamed.

Support per nom, also I can see the Sam Ryder (disambiguation) page already serves as it's task so no additional point needed. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:59, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Roman Spinner Yes, this is correct. I was actually going to be WP:BOLD, and move the Sam Ryder (singer) page myself. However, since Sam Ryder was a disambiguation page, and is now a redirect, I don't have permission to move this page. Strugglehouse (talk) 07:19, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also in favour of the hatnote pointing to Sam Ryder (golfer) until another Sam Ryder gets a Wikipedia article.
Yes, only administrators can move pages to target articles which already exists. I had problems in the past in trying to bold move pages to titles which already exists. Not sure if this qualifies for a technical request though since, by checking the page history, this article has never been moved before. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 10:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be very much against moving the Samuel Ryder article. The man who donated the Ryder Cup is likely to have much more long term significance than either of the Sam Ryders. Nigej (talk) 04:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
