Baby Tate → Baby Tate (guitarist)
Baby Tate (disambiguation) → Baby Tate

– This move would address the fact that Baby Tate (rapper) gets almost 40x the page views of Baby Tate, but is treated as a secondary topic to this. Personally, I think the rapper should be the primary topic, but this is a good start. —VersaceSpace 🌃 00:37, 7 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

Support the guitarist may be primary by long-term significance but clearly not by usage. Crouch, Swale (talk) 05:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I could see the argument for the rapper being the primary topic, or for there being WP:NOPRIMARY – either way, it's clear that the guitarist isn't the primary topic for this title. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 19:54, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In response to the relisting comment – I am inclined to consider the rapper to be the primary topic, personally. From my read of the articles, both artists seem to have comparable long-term significance; therefore, I think it's safe to let the pageviews be determinative, and the nom demonstrates that the rapper is primary by views.

Support - as above comments. I have spent some time disambiguating a number of articles containing text relating to the rapper, which were linked to the long-gone guitarist. Frankly, I do not think the proposed move will necessarily change that necessity. Thanks - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 10:24, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Is the rapper the primary topic? — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 03:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellohi!: moving the rapper's page was never proposed. —VersaceSpace 🌃 19:19, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I asked that question because moving the dab page to the base name was proposed. If the rapper was primary, the dab page move would not go ahead. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 19:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mellohi!: I agree, that would be the case if the rapper was the primary topic. But that was never debated or proposed here (except in response to your comment). —VersaceSpace 🌃 22:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and all of the "support" votes. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:30, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
