The result of the move request was: moved. I note the concerns regarding the long-term significance of the mathematician compared to the baseball player; however, consensus is that there is no primary topic for this title. (non-admin closure)  – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 10:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Comment. The editor above has I/P grievances against several editors and this, coming straight after two such disputes (see his edit history), smacks of personal animus or vendetta ('much less notable') rather than disinterested judgment.Nishidani (talk) 09:43, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Comment. I have never encountered Prof. McKay's account User:McKay on Wikipedia, and thus I do not have any grievances against him. My opinion is simpy informed by numbers, as per the points made by User:Crouch, Swale, Prof. McKay’s page receives much fewer views than the baseball player. That is what I meant when I said he is less notable. And on another note, I hope next time you will Wikipedia:Assume good faith. Ibn Daud (talk) 19:21, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
