All of these people have Newton as their middle name. Having these people at a dis-ambiguation page like this is an analogy to having Joe Biden as one of the entries of a dis-ambiguation page titled Joseph Robinette. We never expect biographical articles to be titled this way, so no one will expect any of these people other than the early 18th century scientist to be at Isaac Newton; he's the only person on this page whose last name is Newton.

Oops; after careful looking I found an exception:
Isaac Newton (agriculturalist) (1800–1867), first United States Secretary of Agriculture

This means that we can delete this dis-ambiguation page and simply put a link to the agriculturalist at the top of the Isaac Newton article. That is, at the Isaac Newton article we can have a header saying Alternate meaning: Isaac Newton (agriculturalist). Georgia guy (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Middle names don't count. In addition to the agriculturalist, there are a whole host of things named after the alleged apple victim, but nothing else that I could dig up. I've already adjusted the hatnote accordingly. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per the nom. All entries but two are irrelevant to this page, which isn't enough to warrant a dis-ambiguation page. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the reasons presented. Also the Issac Newton article is already appropriately hatnoted. --Bejnar (talk) 13:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
