• James Read → James Read (actor)
• James Read (disambiguation) → James Read

– There are six men listed upon the James Read (disambiguation) page, with little indication that the septuagenarian supporting actor's renown has attained such heights as to overwhelm the combined notability of the remaining five men. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 12:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 16:23, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Pageviews are massively in favor of the actor, and not many people are leaving his page to either of the other men in the hatnote. I've added a link to the DAB in the hatnote of James Read (it wasn't there before), but I think this is enough to indicate a primary topic. Oppose.

• Oppose. Another example of why "dab page has however many people on it" is useless PT criteria. James Read Chadwick is a PTM, and the two Jim Reads are not known as James. The other two don't seem known as James Read either, although they have a better argument. But even if all six men were known as "James Read", it isn't relevant because the actor is still clearly PT, as Skarmory showed. Nohomersryan (talk) 15:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
