I'm missing the term "500 free" at the 500 enumeration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achim~dewiki (talk • contribs) 06:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

500 (disambiguation) → 500
500 → AD 500

– No clear primary topic, the AD year gets 1,276 views (but probably largely inflated since most 3 digit years appear to get less than 200 views) while the card game gets 10,487, the number gets 3,903 (the original meaning and arguably more primary by PT#2), the BC year gets 1,055 and the ball game gets 808 [[1]]. A large number of other articles linked on the DAB page [[2]] shows some getting far more like Bluetooth getting 97,790, Fortune 500 getting 57,575 and Fortune Global 500 getting 49,862, while they are probably not likely to be searched with "500" considering how many there are and their views even if a very small fraction used just "500" to get to them they would alone (ignoring the full matches) still displace the year. I'm not sure how many of those titles should be removed or moved to the see also but indeed we can't declare the AD year to be primary even still. A Google search returns several different topic, none being the AD year, most of the Image results are for Fiat 500. A Google Books search does return 2 results for the AD year though 1 is in the middle of the 1st page of results and the other is the last. A site:wikipedia.org 500 returns the number, then the card game and then the AD year. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:03, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The year gets about 10% of the total pageviews for "500 (something)". It is hard to compare with similar years and numbers because 500 is a round number and a century break, and searching productively for 500 isn't easy either. I think we just have to take that percentage at face value, say it's less than 50% and so not a primary topic. Certes (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per nom and above. Maybe just go for the Dicklyon solution and RM all of the remaining three-digit numerals as a unit. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:26, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No. Most 3-digit numbers do not even have a dab page, and no significant meaning beyond the number itself and the numbered year. It would be unproductive to mass-create WP:TWODABS situations. — JFG ^talk 12:18, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. First thought is a genre of racing. Hyperbolick (talk) 20:33, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. See my comments at Talk:123 (disambiguation)#Requested move 2 December 2019.

I would like to propose a vote of thanks to Crouch, Swale for putting in the donkeywork on 3-digit numbers. It has revealed inconsistencies in the current approach, and may lead to a WP:CONSENSUS in this area which is better than the existing one (such as it is). Narky Blert (talk)

Support per WP:PT and Orange (colour) Red Slash 23:46, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. It would seem there's no clear primary topic (the pageviews of the surrounding years make that pretty clear). We might want to move the disambiguation page to the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Many uses of the "500" moniker, and no clear primary topic. — JFG ^talk 12:20, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
