- Oppose Grant Hill is a prominent Canadian politican, and even served for a time as opposition leader. - SimonP 22:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- Support The majority of people searching for Grant Hill will be looking for the basketball player. Adding a disambiguation link or a direct link to the other Hill should be good enough. Drunkasian 2005-12-01 20:23 (UTC)
- support 3 of the first 5 entries when you google grant hill site:en.wikipedia.org are about the athlete or has references to him. to be fair, 3 of the next 5 are references are to the politician, but i agree with the previous poster/voter. 68.240.150.70 01:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- support. The disparity is even greater when googling the internet as a whole. Even if you limit the search to only Canadian websites ("Grant Hill" site:.ca) and look at the first ten results, it's a near-even 6-4 split favoring the NBA player. It appears the basketball player and the Canadian politician are about equally notable in Canada, but the Grant Hill of the NBA is eminently more famous everywhere else, as the NBA has fans worldwide, due in part to players being drafted from all over the globe. He currently has a teammate from Turkey and one from Croatia, whose fans back home have undoubtedly never heard of Grant Hill (politician). — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 22:15, Jan. 13, 2006
Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 07:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Someone changed "Grant Hill" back to a dab page, but I moved it back again in accoradnce with the consensus above. Please discuss any changes in the future before taking unilateral action. Grant Hill the basketball player is known worldwide; Grant Hill the politican is not. Operating on the principle of least surprise, we must have the Grant Hill article be about the basketball player. Otherwise, what's next? Making London a dab page because of London, Ontario? StarryEyes 12:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was no consensus. sighs Why must all of you be so difficult with simple WP:RM... —Nightstallion (?) 08:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Move Vote
NEW MOVE VOTE OK, well, someone moved it back, not necessarily because it was illegitimate, but because it was a cut-and-paste move. So I'm going through the official channels. Maybe some benevolent soul will realize this is rather silly since there's already a consensus above and move it back where it belongs. StarryEyes 23:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

- Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your vote with ~~~~
- Support, per all the arguments above, and per the fact that it already reached a consensus! StarryEyes 23:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, and in fact cannot be done, as it violates WP:D. This is a Specific topic page. It was at the related location "(basketball player)" for years. To make it a Primary topic page requires the consensus of the editors at other pages. There is no such consensus. --William Allen Simpson 19:45, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sense of Style
Can someone put a source to the data about Grant Hill and his apparent love of turtle necks? I think we should remove that section if nothing is added. April 2nd Grassferry49
