Wikipedia's naming conventions.
Oppose. Moving a dab page from the primary name space needs a clear and convincing case that there is a primary topic. I'm not seeing that case here. The tool used is questioned as not producing results that can be used for decisions here in several other related nominations.

What are you talking about
Clarence_Williams_III is getting about 10 times as many views as all the others combined:
Clarence_Williams_III has been viewed 11143 times in 200802
Clarence_Williams_(musician) has been viewed 727 times in 200802
Clarence_Williams_(1977-) has been viewed 145 times in 200802
Clarence_S._Williams has been viewed 100 times in 200802
Clarence_Williams_(1955-) has been viewed 79 times in 200802
Oppose using the stats tool as the sole basis for determining a primary topic is solipsistic. At the very least there needs to be a broader discussion of the appropriateness of using that tool.

Oppose, any discussion involving this many different things being disambiguated needs much stronger reasoning for primary disambiguation. The crude tool being used here is of no significance standing alone.

A couple of factors that enter into this are 1) having to follow one link to get to the article you want is routine; having to follow two or more to get there is an annoyance, and 2) having the ambiguous name as a disambiguation page makes maintenance of links much simpler (it's hard to distinguish the inappropriate ones when an article which should have its own links also includes some that should go somewhere else).

As I mentioned above, having the disambiguation page as it is makes maintenance of the links much simpler. But it still needs to be done, and this article has many incoming links in need of disambiguation. Maybe somebody should take the time to do it, and then report back to us exactly how many of them go to which article, and how many of them don't fit any of the existing articles and instead serve as an indication of possible future articles as yet unwritten.
