Talk:June 1976

Requested move 23 September 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Most agreed that the month is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC based on long-term significance. A strong argument with respect to pageviews was given, but a clear majority seems to have felt long-term significance to be more important. (non-admin closure) VR _talk 13:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Ahecht:If anything, June 1976 (album) would be the primary topic, as it gets three times the page views. Defaulting to the disambig page is fine. --Ahecht (TALK

• Support per long-term significance and consistency. Chronological entities pretty consistently get top billing and it takes a lot to dethrone them. 1984 is the primary topic over Nineteen Eighty-Four despite the latter getting over 10x the pageviews. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:09, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support the month is the primary topic by long-term significance. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 02:29, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support per the arguments laid out by King of Hearts. ModernDayTrilobite (talk) 19:17, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose. Pageviews indicate most people landing on June 1976 are probably looking for the album. (Nineteen Eighty-Four is usually written out, so there's no title conflict in that case, unlike here.) Station1 (talk) 06:26, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

No, they don't. The only thing the pageviews indicate is that every person landing on June 1976 (album) landed on it, and similarly for June 1976. For all anyone knows, they may have landed at the album by clicking an internal or external link, be it from a search or another page. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 14:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 05:09, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

They do. For every 4 people reading about the album, fewer than one is reading about the month. It is reasonable to assume, then, that people landing on the dab page probably (not provably) want those two articles in a very roughly similar proportion. What we can say with certainty, though, is that the evidence does not point to a majority of readers wanting to read about a month. Station1 (talk) 16:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

I really don't think we can infer with any certainty what readers who land at the DAB are looking for; perhaps they're looking for June 1976 in meteorology. We can't actually even say that a majority of readers want to read about the album: we might have one avid Grateful Dead fan who loads the page on average 23+3⁄4 times a day (perhaps they have a 15-minute tea break). I'm not saying either of those are likely, of course. But when the DAB page is averaging one hit every 1.4 days, some of which will be bot activity, I think it is difficult to draw any conclusions about what readers expect to find or do at the DAB page. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 22:25, 5 October 2021 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 05:09, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nom and per points above. In terms of long-term significance, the name of the month will always end up being primary. BD2412 T 21:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support. Clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:42, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support. Clear WP:PTOPIC#2, long-term significance. For an analogous case, the PTOPIC for apple is the fruit, even though Apple, Inc. gets four times the pageviews. Narky Blert (talk) 13:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
