John Davidson (actor) → John Davidson (actor, born 1886) – Ambiguous with John Davidson (entertainer), who gets the quasi-totality of pageviews.[1] Retarget John Davidson (actor) to the latter. 162 etc. (talk) 23:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, but retarget John Davidson (actor) to John Davidson, as the entertainer is not primarily known as an actor. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support the entertainer's article mentions in the lead being an actor. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:22, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, but he's not the primary topic for John Davidson (actor), as he's not best-known as an actor. Neither of them are primary topic for that disambiguator, which is why it should redirect to the dabpage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  No objection to this. 162 etc. (talk) 15:03, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Necrothesp and Crouch, Swale. John Davidson (actor) does indeed represent incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to the John Davidson#Arts and entertainment dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:11, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
