The result of the move request was: No consensus yet. Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL, but it seems likely that his notability is only going to skyrocket, and I suppose that in about July (or maybe once the new season starts) this discussion, if revisited, will likely lead to a consensus that he's the primary topic. There's no current consensus though. Wait till he's taken in the draft.( non-admin closure) Red Slash 19:21, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Seth Jones – I believe that the ice hockey player is now the primary topic, as his article has received over 100,000 page views this year, whereas the political scientist has received only 6,000 page views this year (and some of those people were likely looking for the hockey player). Given that he is a likely top three pick (and a strong possibility of being #1 overall in the
2013 NHL Entry Draft), the hockey player is likely to retain his high page views. The political scientist's article would then need to be moved to a title with a disambiguation, maybe something along the lines of

The currently cited sources say Jones took "skating" lessons from a figure-skating instructor as a child. That doesn't necessarily mean he took figure-skating lessons, per se. It is much more common for young hockey players to take power skating lessons. Indeed, that's what Sakic says he recommended to Jones' dad. [1] [2] I'm not sure if Jones actually did take power skating lessons, but given Sakic's quotes the current wording is dubious. I've changed the wording to simply read "skating lessons." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.188.160 ( talk) 21:52, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

– (One decade later ... also, still surprisingly few articles with this name) It may now be clearer there's a
primary topic here, and it's the five-time NHL All-Star with 94% of the
all-time pageviews (833,000 vs 52,000). Worth noting there's no standalone
Seth Jones (dime novel) yet,
said to be "one of the best selling novels of the late 19th century", but with maybe questionable enduring notability
