*:::You are free to open a separate RM on [[John Wayles Jefferson]] if you believe it should be parenthetically disambiguated. But there is no indication from actual data (as opposed to assumptions) that the football player being at [[John Jefferson]] is causing any inconvenience to our readers in finding the one with middle name Wales. —[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 17:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
* '''Comment'''. I don't think that outgoing links are a very good measure here. Both Wikipedia's own search pages and external search engines are fairly good these days at helping direct people to the correct page without readers needing to click on hatnote links. Further, there are several other people of lesser notability named [[John Jefferson (disambiguation)]]. I didn't mention it in the proposal because I thought it sufficient to demonstrate that there is no primary topic. [[User:Daask|Daask]] ([[User talk:Daask|talk]]) 18:48, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose'''. These names are [[WP:NATURAL]]LY disambiguated. The other person is virtually always known as John Wayles Jefferson or [[John W. Jefferson]], even on his tombstone. A hatnote is sufficient for the very rare reader who might wind up here by mistake. No need to force those looking for the football player to a dab page.
