John Lewis → John Lewis (politician) – This John Lewis is a tremendous man who has achieved a lot and has made a difference to people's lives, however... he is fairly unknown outside America. Yes, his page gets many page views, but that's because America is big. In Britain, for example, "John Lewis" is a huge chain of department stores, and when people say John Lewis, they either refer to the department store, or its founder. Wikipedia shouldn't be simply reflective of perceptions in one country. Maxim.il89 (talk) 00:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

• Comment – Uh oh, it begins again. However, you might want to change your proposal to consider a move to "John Lewis (civil rights leader)" (which was the previous title). Paintspot Infez (talk) 02:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose This John Lewis is the primary topic, and no convincing evidence to the contrary has been presented. This encyclopedia serves a worldwide readership, and it is exceptionally easy for readers in the UK to find the article about the department store.

Re Disambig 'John Lewis'

I can't see that this disambig page needs a lead-topic. It sounds as though someone's got an agenda. Just a straight list would do, in my view. Valetude (talk) 20:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
