This disambiguation page is unnecessary, as there are only two people who have articles named Rick Dyer. I propose deleting it and moving one of the two Rick Dyers (probably the game designer) to this title as the primary topic, while leaving a hatnote that directs to the other Rick Dyer, and a different disambiguation page for the various Richard Dyers. silviaASH (inquire within) 00:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: no obvious primary topic. Page views favour the videogame designer but not overwhelmingly, and even the nominator says "probably". Just leave it as is. PamD 07:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Rick_Dyer shows that in March, 43 people saw the list and 24 went to the first entry (55%). I don't think this is quite sufficient to prove WP:PTOPIC status. As for the Richards, it is curious that the only outgoing link that registers at https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Richard_Dyer is one of the hatnotes, so we might want to try to disambiguate that fully as well. --Joy (talk) 14:54, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 2 valid entries, no evidence put forwardof a clear primary topic. Boleyn (talk) 18:38, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. No evidence of a clear primary topic, so maintaining the DAB page seems best for now. CycloneYoris ^talk! 04:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
