Should Pantheon, Rome be the primary topic?

[edit]

Anyone else feel that Pantheon, Rome can be assumed to be the target article for a majority of users who visit the disambig, and that the Roman Pantheon article should thus be located at Pantheon and this disambig should be at Pantheon (disambiguation)? I'm rather surprised there never seems to have been any discussion on the matter. When you do a Google search for "Pantheon," nearly all the results on the first few pages are for the one in Rome. And, incidentally, The Pantheon redirects to the one in Rome.

If the consensus is that there is no primary topic, that's fine, but I wondered if it's one of those things where it's this way because nobody's ever suggested doing it another way. So I thought I'd ask. Propaniac (talk) 01:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having disambiguated links to this article many times, I'd have to say that nearly half of them are intended for Pantheon (gods) (which was created in the first place as a target for the large number of links intending that meaning), nearly half are for the Pantheon on Rome, and a handful are for other uses, probably mostly for the publisher. If we were talking about The Pantheon I'd agree (and indeed, that redirect reflects primary usage). But for the title, Pantheon, I would disagree with this being anything other than a disambig page. bd2412 T 01:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough-- thanks for the insight. Propaniac (talk) 14:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
