• Jim Strickland (politician) → Jim Strickland
• Jim Strickland → Jim Strickland (baseball)

– Currently, the main "Jim Strickland" is about an obscure baseball player from the 70s. I think this Jim Strickland, as the sitting mayor of a major city, meets the qualifications for being the primary topic. CountGrasshopper (talk) 22:09, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

• A disambiguation page may be warranted. Neither the political or baseball player is very widely-known. And there are other Jim Stricklands, such a basketball player (and here) as well as one from an earlier era); also a golfer and a musician. older ≠ wiser 12:51, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
• Support second and oppose first 2601:541:4305:C70:2D2A:1DCF:C77:270B (talk) 18:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
• Support dab page – Neither subject can be considered a dominant primary topic. — JFG ^talk 02:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
• Support dab page. No primary topic, so support the second move, oppose the first. Andrewa (talk) 06:57, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
• Support dab page per previously stated arguments. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
• Support the politician as the primary topic. With only two topics with articles on Wikipedia, it's easy to see that the politician is what people are looking for, with about 40 times the page views. kennethaw88 • talk 02:32, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Besmirching Mayor Strickland's accomplishments

I'm sorry. I hate to see pettiness get in the way of the truth, but it seems someone keeps trying to sweep under the rug Jim Strickland's hamburgaling accomplishments.

Whoever keeps vandalizing this page should be ashamed of themselves. 2601:3C1:C204:7220:CC5F:343A:8D93:6599 (talk) 07:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
