I Start Counting (film) → I Start Counting — The band appears to be only on the borderline of notability. The film may not be particularly well known, but it did have a well known actress in the starring role, and it is significant in terms of her career as a step forwards in terms of the sort of parts she was playing. I suggest that where we have only 2 meanings the margin does not have to be very great to decide that there is a primary meaning. PatGallacher (talk) 15:17, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Possibly. Normally I would say no as there does not appear to be any clear indication of primary usage for either, but the merge tag on I Start Counting (band) seems reasonable. PC78 (talk) 16:05, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Per WP:MOSDAB, when there are only two items we don't need much indication either way to call one or the other the primary topic. Powers ^T 23:11, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
    • You can't just decide that arbitrarily, though. There needs to be some indication based on something more than a vague feeling. Also, are you sure you're linking the right guideline there? PC78 (talk) 06:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
      • No, probably WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is better. Powers ^T 13:16, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I do not just have a vague feeling, I have put forward a reasoned argument, which people may choose to accept or not. PatGallacher (talk) 17:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• Suggestion: I performed a search engine test of each topic, and I am thinking that the band article could be merged to Komputer or a similar article. The film article could then be the primary topic, although I have to say the film's notability is low. If both articles are to be kept, then I would prefer to keep the disambiguation for lack of a primary topic. Erik (talk | contribs) 16:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support, assuming your findings are correct - The band is obviously named after the book/film. Deb (talk) 18:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

• Is there evidence of this? Erik (talk | contribs) 18:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I imagine that evidence could be found, but since the band is so little known, it would take some searching for. The book and film predate the band and the film was quite big in the UK because it was Jenny Agutter's first "adult" film and had sexual content. Deb (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

• Support, it doesn't matter much, but yes, this should be primary.--Kotniski (talk) 16:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
• Support, no need to sweat over it since only two candidates and both are relatively obscure. Give the film the tip of the hat due to predating the band if nothing else. No opinion on what happens to the article about the band. --Born2cycle (talk) 05:01, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
