PAF (disambiguation) → PAF – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and similar to the case of IAF which is a dab page for same reasons. PAF currently points to Pakistan Air Force. PAF dab page has 489 views[1] while PAF redirect was used 251 times[2] to view Pakistan Air Force page. So PAF dab here is the primary topic for a term with respect to usage as it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic. Also Google book hits for "PAF" gave the scientific uses of the word 47 times out of top 50 results and only 3 results for Pakistan Air force.DBig Xrayᗙ 11:29, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support The DAB page does come up in a Google search which may explain some of those views but still if the DAB page gets nearly twice the views as the redirect that's clear evidence that its not primary for this 3 letter acronym. Note that the DAB page isn't considered a topic (so isn't considered the PT), its that there is likely no PT, which results in the DAB being at the base name.

Support per nom. There are even other air forces to which this might refer. bd2412 T 20:34, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
