– It is not apparent that the 1993 novel is the primary topic of this much older common phrase. Quite frankly, the forthcoming big-budget and star-studded Dungeons & Dragons movie incorporating this name already has many times the pageviews of the 1993 novel.

The D&D movie, however, is American. If its British spelling is taken into account, we could likewise point to Honor Among Thieves — American printing of Jeffrey Archer's novel. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 00:55, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
We could, but that would just go to the point that the spelling variation is not distinguishing. BD2412 T 00:57, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support the DAD movie doesn't indicate its commonly called this but does get many more views so probably no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:36, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support novel move, move DAB page to Honor Among Thieves - The number of views for the upcoming film is irrelevant, given its is not an exact title match and because it is artificially high due to public consciousness at the moment. Per WP:DABNAME, the page should be named per the spelling that reflects the majority of items on the page, that being "Honor...". -- Netoholic @ 11:38, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    • I agree with your outcome, but I do think the D&D film is relevant. First, it's a subtitle in a genre where media tends to be referred to by subtitles. Second, yes it's inflated at the moment, but it is significant, I think, that the release of the trailer got more page views in one day than the novel currently at that title has gotten in its entire time on Wikipedia. I am not suggesting that the film is or will become the primary topic of the phrase, as it is derivative of its original meaning, but it is not plausible that the novel will ever regain primacy relative to the film.
