– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Stephen Hahn the oncologist is a major figure in the Trump administration as the head of the FDA, especially during the covid pandemic. If you are unconvinced of this argument, a move to "Stephen Hahn (physician)” would also be better per WP:OVERPRECISION. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 21:02, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:RECENT: see pageviews. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support but also agree that the "physician" would be better than "oncologist." His notoriety does not come from this work in oncology, but rather as the head of the FDA (and earlier as head of MD Anderson). BA Schuetze (talk) 02:14, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even before the pandemic, previous (not even currently in office) FDA commissioners were individually getting 10x the views of the art dealer, Stephen Hahn. FDA commissioner pageviews. This leads me to believe, even if Stephen Hahn is removed from his post, this page will still be more notable than the page for the art dealer. BA Schuetze (talk) 14:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - the current pandemic will stay relevant in the future and he is an important person there. The page of the art dealer is rarely visited (more visitors recently as side effect of the doctor's importance) and the other people have very minor importance. --mfb (talk) 07:09, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Stephen Hahn is getting a lot of attention right now because the pandemic is a current issue. As noted above, this is an example of WP:RECENT. The pandemic will surely be a topic of interest for decades to come -- but that doesn't imply that Hahn will. Furthermore, even in the unlikely event that this person continues to be the most interesting of all the Stephen Hahns, that isn't enough to make the suggested change, which would put him in the place of being more interesting that all other Stephen Hahns combined. TypoBoy (talk) 13:09, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because they don't seem to last long - he is Trump's 4th (or is it 5th?), & Obama and Bush had 3 each. On past form he could well be on the job market in 3 months. Revisit if he's still there in March. Johnbod (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– He didn't make it to March, but that's because he made it to the end of Trump's term and Joe Biden became president on January 20, 2021. Even after leaving office, the physician has had more pageviews each day than the dab page and the art dealer combined. Even when you include the pageviews of the seven FDA comissioners before Hahn, the other Stephen Hahns are at the bottom of the list. Considering that Hahn was the Commissioner of the FDA during the early parts of the pandemic and was involved in the authorization of the Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J vaccines in the United States, I feel like he is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, despite others thinking that this is just an example of WP:RECENTISM. I'm pretty sure the guy whose decisions affected the lives of the millions of people living in the United States of America is going to have more long term significance than a guy who owned art and opened a small gallery.

Support - Though the physician's average pageviews have certainly declined since he left office, they seem to now be fairly stable. The physician's article has received 40 to 50 daily views on most dates within the past month, dramatically more views than the art dealer and the disambiguation page combined; this suggests to me that the physician is retaining long-term significance. His role as the head of a major US government agency also strengthens his case for long-term significance, as discussed by the nominator.
