Dynamic Earth → Dynamic Earth (Ontario) – (With dab page created at this title.) There's no evidence that this is the primary topic over the museum of the same name in Edinburgh. Page views since the Edinburgh article was moved to its current title suggest that that museum gets slightly more hits despite being at the title with brackets—and of course some people trying to go there will come here. Similarly there are 26 incoming links to the Ontario museum, compared to 50 links to the Edinburgh page. Museums were founded at around the same time and seem similar in scope and importance. I don't think there's necessarily strong evidence that Edinburgh's museum is the primary topic, but I think there's fairly good evidence that the Ontario one isn't.

History of article locations by YorkshireLad

History that's perhaps worth noting: originally these museums were here and at Our Dynamic Earth, according to the original title of the Edinburgh museum. An account by the name DynamicEarthOfficial, on Talk:Our Dynamic Earth (as was), requested that the the Edinburgh museum move to its new title, but requested it be moved to Dynamic Earth to reflect the new title, but this was declined procedurally as the request was malformed (it didn't propose what to do with this existing article), and the account proposing it had been blocked per the username policy. Two days later, Lancshero moved the Edinburgh museum's article to its current location. I suspect we've ended up with this situation because originally this was the only notable museum with the name "Dynamic Earth", and not based on primacy of the museum itself.
