– Clearly not primary over Yelling (vocalization). Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support and agree that the vocalization is primary. ╠╣uw [talk] 13:54, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SUPPPORT PER NOM AND HUWMANBEING, 'SCREAMING' TO PRIMARY (edit per bd2412 below) Randy Kryn (TALK) 14:33, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that if Screaming is primary, as argued by the previous two comments, the disambiguation page should not actually be moved. Dekimasuよ! 15:58, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Yelling (vocalization) is not an article, just a redirect that averages zero hits per day, the least of anything called Yelling on WP. Yelling gets about 11 hits/day, much more than everything else combined[1] but still a very low number that is in line with other villages in Cambridgeshire. Clearly almost no one is getting lost here. But if anyone really wants to add Screaming to the hatnote, that would have the same effect without getting in the village's way.

Of course the redirect should not go to 'Yelling (vocalization)' but to 'Screaming' (per bd2412 below) which now is a disamb. redirect of 'Yell'. Not surprising that 'Yelling (vocalization)' gets almost no hits. I fixed my comment above. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be some confusion regarding the 4 support comments registered so far. As Dekimasu has already pointed out, those favoring redirecting Yelling to Screaming oppose the first proposal, not support it. As I understand it, the proposal is that Yelling be a dab page because there is no primary topic. Station1 (talk) 06:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Its not surprising that the redirect Yelling (vocalization) got almost no hits, the redirect was bypassed until I fixed it. Anyway the DAB page gets more than 10% of the views of the article [[2]] indicating many readers are landing on the wrong page. See this comment for explanation. I would argue that "Yelling" should redirect to Screaming but given the move revert and the oppose argument it maybe should be a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:14, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that Yelling (vocalization) had been a pipe to Shout (sound) (the former title of, and current redirect to, Screaming) and not a direct link. That does make some difference. And 10%+ of the hits on Yelling is indeed a high percentage for a dab page, but is still fewer than 2 people per day compared to 9-10 who are apparently happy with the town. Frankly, those numbers are so low that it doesn't matter much what we do, especially since the majority of those 9 will find the town directly whatever we title its article.

Support the move, and redirecting to Screaming. Clear primary topic of the term. bd2412 T 20:13, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support the move, and redirecting to Screaming. Clear primary topic of yelling. In ictu oculi (talk)
Support move from Yelling to Yelling, Cambridgeshire. But Yelling should be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Screaming, so oppose any move of Yelling (disambiguation). — Gorthian (talk) 17:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I have added a troponyms section to Screaming, with some additional information about yelling. bd2412 T 02:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- My hat’s off to you! That’s impressive. — Gorthian (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support move from Yelling to Yelling, Cambridgeshire and Yelling redirect to Screaming, per User:Gorthian. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:48, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
