M101 → M101 (disambiguation) – M101 should redirect to M101 howitzer, which is the primary topic. page views. Schierbecker (talk) 06:28, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Pageviews does not include Pinwheel Galaxy which is commonly referred to as "M101". It also gets significant views, making the howitzer gun not convincingly primary over it in longterm significance nor views. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:06, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks. Schierbecker (talk) 01:58, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Clickstream (clickstream-enwiki-2022-03.tsv) offers the following data about outgoing links from the disambiguation page:

M101 M101_howitzer link 30
M101 Pinwheel_Galaxy link 84

It's debatable how much weight clickstream data deserves given that the absolute numbers are small. I think it's more useful in cases like this where the main primary topic candidates are not exclusively or primarily known as "M101", since the interpretation of the page view data becomes less clear. Comparing clickstream and page views, I don't see a clear primary topic. Adumbrativus (talk) 07:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the galaxy seems to be more common per Google. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:26, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The howitzer is easily the primary topic for the term. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:01, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
