BreakingBreaking (disambiguation) — Based on the article traffic tool, Breaking should be moved to Breaking (disambiguation) and Breaking (martial arts) should be moved to Breaking. —TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 14:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Is the "article traffic tool" sufficient grounds for a move? Shouldn't this be discussed somewhere like WP:NAME, first? Sam Staton (talk) 15:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

The tool is new, but it is certainly informative and provides guidance.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Disagree. Based on the nominations currently before us, the traffic tool currently appears to provide no useful evidence at all. Perhaps its use can be refined, but its batting average so far is woeful. Andrewa (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

By batting average, one page that showed 37% more views was kept as primary usage, while another was rejected as showing primary usage even though it had 5 times as many views. Go figure. A lot may be the difference between establishing a new consensus or maintaining an old one, and I doubt that the example of 37% (1.37:1) is the lowest for "primary usage". It also appears that few editors are familiar with the tool. 199.125.109.28 (talk) 01:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
