– Ryan O'Reilly is a Canadian ice hockey player who currently plays for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has won a Stanley Cup championship, a Stanley Cup playoffs MVP and multiple individual league awards, such as the Conn Smythe Trophy, Frank J. Selke Trophy and Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. I believe that the "(ice hockey)" should be removed from the article title, as other people with the name of or similar to Ryan O'Reilly with Wikipedia articles include: "Konnor (wrestler)", who previously used the name Ryan O'Reilly as a wrestling name, but was not well known by that title until he changed his wrestling name to Konnor. The other is a fictional television character named "Ryan O'Reily" with only one "L". I know that Ryan O'Reilly is distinguished enough from these other articles to warrant changing its title.

Support, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Colin Gerhard (talk) 10:11, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support via PRIMARYTOPIC as the hockey player gets far more news hits than the wrestler that once used the name and is not even be that subject's WP:COMMONNAME. The hockey player also has slightly more page views, with a huge surge throwing off the average during the hockey player's awarding winning season. Yosemiter (talk) 13:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
