The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Despite one oppose, the two supporting replies were very thorough, and in agreement, excepting the move of Jim Pearce (politician), because they are the only one and thusly not ambiguous.

The alternative of James Pearce (American politician) has the most support, and moving the disambiguation page at Jim Pearce to James Pearce, was also narrowly supported. (closed by non-admin page mover) ASUKITE 13:58, 8 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

James Pearce → James Pearce (politician)James Pearce (politician) – not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per page views Joeykai (talk) 21:19, 1 May 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 18:53, 21 May 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 13:08, 31 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Oppose A look at recent news articles seems to indicate the football player is primarily referred to as James Pearce Jr. The next closest James Pearce (James Pearce (journalist)) only gets a third of the pageviews of the politician. Curbon7 (talk) 22:27, 3 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Support per nomination the contention that James Pearce is not primary over the combined prominence of the nine other men listed upon the Jim Pearce disambiguation page, but oppose moving to incomplete disambiguation James Pearce (politician) and propose a move to James Pearce (American politician), due to the presence of James Pearce (South Australian politician) as well as Jim Pearce (politician) whose main title header may be considered for a move to Jim Pearce (Queensland politician). As a helpful additional aspect, the nomination could have been paired with the move of dab page main header Jim Pearce → James Pearce, since six of the ten men listed on it are named "James" and only three are named "Jim", with one "Jimmy". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:05, 21 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Support James Pearce (American politician). All the other people on the list are called James Pearce, even if they're known as Jim. Oppose Jim Pearce (politician) → Jim Pearce (Queensland politician). Only politician known as Jim Pearce. Support Jim Pearce → James Pearce. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 27 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
