:And we can't know the difference. All we can know is what is there. No, David Jones is likely not going to be what someone enters when looking for David Bowie, no more than James Stewart is what people enter while looking for Stewart Granger. However, the actor does use the same name as the page, so that is more transparent. The numbers aren't the definitive answer, nor should they be, but they are a tool that is offered to see where people go when they want James Stewart. I wonder if the disambiguation on George Washington raised this much discussion. It says "For other uses, see George Washington (disambiguation)." That's all that is being proposed here. I'm at a loss as to how this is such a huge issue for mostly one person, but then that's me.
