Currently, the article at the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Julian is the article about the given name Julian. However, I do not think it meets either of the PRIMARYTOPIC criteria. In regards to usage, Julian (emperor) alone typically gets over three times as many page views. The Roman emperor also has rather substantial long-term significance on his own, enough so that I don't think the given name has enough to be considered the primary topic on that ground. Julian also tends to be somewhat of a target for mislinks, usually for someone meaning the emperor ([1] [2]) or the Julian calendar ([3][4]), and mislinks to a disambiguation page are considerably easier to catch and fix.

In this case, I think practical considerations outweigh a strict application of policy. I really don't fancy having a disambiguation page as the primary topic, and having the name itself primary seems like a logical and reasonable compromise. Maybe the emperor should be primary, but it took years to get "Julian (emperor)" to its present title, with endless debates about what the proper title should be. I think this would just start all over again should the move in question be approved. So leaning against this proposed move right now. P Aculeius (talk) 13:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
"having a disambiguation page as the primary topic" is not a thing. Dicklyon (talk) 03:42, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
