Circle of life → Circle of Life (disambiguation) – When I first ran across this disambiguation page, I realized that there is probably a primary topic issue with the current situation of the pages related to the title "Circle of Life", but I wasn't sure at first what specifically to propose to fix it. Should I propose that the disambiguation page be moved to the base title page? Well, that was my first thought ... until I realized that I could not find an actual article regarding the concept of the circle of life; in fact, in the disambiguation page's current state, the line regarding the concept of the circle of life links the individual concepts in the circle rather than linking an existing article regarding the circle of life concept. So ... that means there's an article that probably should exist that doesn't. Anyways, with that being said, that essentially means that "Circle of Life", the song from The Lion King, is essentially the primary topic by default per the current set of existing articles ... until an article for the "circle of life" concept is created. So, without further ado, here's what I'm technically proposing:
Move the disambiguation page to the title with "Life" capitalized since most of the entries on the disambiguation page represent titles of subjects with the word "Life" capitalized, then redirect Circle of life to Circle of Life, the song from The Lion King.

- Nominator comment: For the record, I oppose redirecting Circle of life to Biological life cycle. I don't believe Biological life cycle to be the subject that best describes "circle of life"; the subject that I'm thinking of is a combination between that and Food chain, and there seems to be no such article for that combination subject on Wikipedia.

- Support I haven't really heard "Circle of life" in common parlance beyond the Lion King song.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:53, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- Due to later developments, I append that I oppose redirecting the name to "biological life cycle", as there is little evidence the phrase is used to refer to that.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Weak oppose - I wouldn't be too huge of a fan of "Circle of life" redirecting to the Lion King song, as people looking for the song would probably know to capitalize the words of the title... Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:00, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Weak oppose redirecting "Circle of life" to Biological life cycle... It should probably redirect to the disambiguation page, or just be the dab page's title. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- We do have an article about the circle of life, Biological life cycle. Support move and then redirect this title to Biological life cycle. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 20:29, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support per nom and most familiar name. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:55, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose – works better to keep the lowercase one as a disambig page. Dicklyon (talk) 02:53, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Per LaundryPizza above, the biological life cycle article is the most likely target and primary topic. Move to Circle of life (disambiguation) (no unnecessary capital) and redirect this page to biological life cycle with a hatnote. James (talk/contribs) 13:44, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support move and make Biological life cycle the primary topic per LaundryPizza03. ToThAc (talk) 14:27, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- I'm fine with any other parts of the proposal or the status quo but oppose redirecting Circle of life to Biological life cycle. No evidence has been given that this (and not the song) is the primary meaning. — AjaxSmack 03:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
