Primary destination?
Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion
Is it right that this disamb page should be the first destination for people looking for "New Order"? I thought that the protocol (and I may well be wrong but my subjective experience is that most pages work this way) was to direct to the most likely wanted article (in this case I'd guess New Order (Band)) and then offer disambiguation from there. The way this page works is that absolutely no-one gets straight to their desired page forcing everyone to navigate a disamb page when a good proportion of them could have been saved the additional jump. danno18:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I think you may have misunderstood the OP. It appears to be saying that the band is the primary topic and should be where readers are directed to instead of a disambiguation page. However it is not completely clear what the basis of the complaint is. In October 2010, both the band and disambiguation pages were at their present titles. I think the OP might be referring to the redirect at new order, which in October 2010 was a redirect to the disambiguation page. This was changed in November 2010 to redirect to the band article. older ≠ wiser20:11, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. The band consistently has significantly more traffic than any other article on the dab page and more than all of them combined.[1], even including those entries that are only partial title matches. For August 2011 through the 11th, the band had 25,435 views. The next closest with 7,351 is the partial title match Novus ordo seclorum (which arguably is not actually ambiguous with "New Order"). All the other pages combined had 20,443 (including many partial title matches). For July 2011, the band had 69,821 views. #2 was again Novus ordo seclorum with 19,136. All the other pages combined had 56,739. Finally, the disambiguation page was viewed only 259 times in August and 755 times in July. That doesn't indicate there are a whole lot of people who needed to go to the disambiguation page after arriving at the band article. older ≠ wiser18:05, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
That 55% includes all of the partial title matches, which are arguably not ambiguous with "New Order". Excluding the partial title matches it is not even close. older ≠ wiser19:48, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Who said anything about blame? I tried to indicate as clearly as I could that the figures included the partial title matches. And yet you misinterpreted the figures so I reiterated the qualification. older ≠ wiser22:08, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
You still seem to be equating "I think this way" with "Most everyone else thinks the way I do." For more people than you seem to realize, myself included, "New Order" is the name of a musical group, and does not bring to mind a generic political concept. Sorry, but I still see no reason for this proposed move -- Foetusized (talk) 00:15, 14 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oppose HEY HEADBOMB. The band was named after "The People's New Order of Kampuchea" (Cambodia) because the members saw it in a newspaper article and liked the sound of it. You would see this in the New Order article if you would take a couple minutes to glance over it.-- Doctorx0079 (talk) 21:59, 14 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
That is non-constructive contribution. The closing admin will be far more likely to consider your opinion if provide a valid rationale based on policies and/or guidelines. They will be unlikely to consider your opinion if you shout at good faith contributors. Jenks24 (talk) 09:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support. 55% of the page views, especially when the article is already at the primary topic, means that it is not "highly likely" (quoting from WP:PRIMARYTOPIC) that a reader typing "New Order" in the search bar will be looking for the article on the band.

Geeze, how many times do I have to say this - that 55% calculation includes many partial title matches which should be discounted -- the point I was trying to make (apparently poorly) is that even if you include all the unlikely to be ambiguous partial title matches, the band is still significantly more likely. If the unambiguous partial title matches are excluded, there is simply no contest. older ≠ wiser12:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but the page view stats are strongly influenced by the band already being at the primary topic. In addition, have a search for "New Order" in google books – apart from two Books LLC hits (which copy content from Wikipedia), I didn't see any books relating to the band in the first 10 pages of results.
