– There is not a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC among all WIlliam Stephens's. There's the House of Representatives member and Governor of California (here), but a governor of Georgia and member of parliament is arguably as prominent as him and quite a few other people of similar or slightly lesser notability.

Support per nomination. There are 16 men listed upon the William Stephens (disambiguation) page and the American political figure from a hundred years ago, who held public offices between 1909 and 1923, has not cast such a giant historical shadow as to reduce the combined notability of the remaining 15 men into second-tier status. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:32, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
