Truman → Truman (disambiguation) – Harry S. Truman is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Truman" for the former president has had historical significance for the surname, most likely people iwll be looking for the former president when they search for the term, thus, Truman should be redirected there. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:20, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Comment why wouldn't users follow President Truman rather than just "Truman"? In ictu oculi (talk) 11:59, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose move as yet another attempt at a presidential redirect. "Truman" is not a distinctive surname like Obama is. ONR (talk) 23:46, 10 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose – No need to pick a primarytopic for a term with so many uses. Dicklyon (talk) 05:57, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Compare Reagan, Eisenhower and Nixon, there are no other uses as notable compared with the presidents, just like it is with this one, the former POTUS is clearly the primary topic for "Truman", unless someone can come up with anything that can rival a primary topic for this term, the arguments put forward at the Trump discussion are probably not appropriate here for it is not a dictionary word. None of the above editors provided any evidence against the nomination. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 21:58, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Far too common a name. Not every US President has claim for primacy over his surname. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:23, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
