Flo (group) → Flo
Flo → Flo (disambiguation)

– I believe Flo (group) should be the primary topic, gets a lot more visits than the other pages in disambiguation. Silencedoc (talk) 16:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 162 etc. (talk) 17:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Noting also recently had the TV series article trying to be the primary topic: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Flo&type=move. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Should be moved to full discussion. This isn't an uncontroversial or technical request. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like any of the 22 entries on Flo can reasonably be construed to be primary over and above the other 21. Dr. Vogel (talk) 17:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per Kj cheetham's comment above, WikiNav will not work as intended due to dab page moves below (#Move history of related dab). Talk:Flo (TV series)#Requested move 30 January 2023 may imply that consensus is that no primary topic exists. Closer should say here if that has changed to avoid ambiguity in interpreting consensus, just to be safe. Tangential RM at Talk:Flo (Progressive Insurance)#Requested move 30 January 2023.

Strong oppose the threshold for a three letter word to replace a dab is very high. Flo (girl group) is not the worldwide long term encyclopedia primary above all others combined for FLO/Flo. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Strong Support~~ Comment among the 21 articles in disambiguation, Flo (group) it's the only one your name is FLO, it's clearly a primary topic, its 25,000 visits it's twice the other articles. I believe the situation is the same as Sia, Nelly, Cher among other names known only. Silencedoc (talk) 20:12, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Made a minor adjustment above, as OP should note vote in support of his/her own nomination. 162 etc. (talk) 22:44, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move. No proof of a primary topic. O.N.R. ^(talk) 06:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There is no primary topic here with this article and Flo (app) being equally prominent as the two most common topics in my search results, but they are accompanied by multiple others as well. Thryduulf (talk) 11:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should appreciate newbie enthusiasm, but still, this is just too early after the previous move to even start to get a grasp of the new statistics of the current navigation layout. With zero acknowledgement of the obvious long-term significance of the human name and the eponym of the previous presumed primary topic, this is not done in accordance with the fine guidelines at WP:D and should not be pursued. Oppose --Joy (talk) 13:37, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Flo (TV series) was a primary topic for a good and long time, I didn't understand exactly why, but I believe it's the same situation as Flo (group) Silencedoc (talk) 17:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Silencedoc two wrongs don't make a right :) the encyclopedia is very large and there are bound to be mistakes in it that go unaddressed for relatively long periods of time. We should think of what makes the most sense for readers and peruse primary topic documentation judiciously, even if belatedly. --Joy (talk) 10:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
