Primary topic?

Please see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for specifics about whether there is a primary topic for a particular term. In this case Joseph Jenkins. If you take a look at page statistics for the last 2 months you can see that there is no article that shows "[the ]topic is primary for a term with respect to usage". Nor do any of the 4 articles on Joseph Jenkins show that "[the] topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance". There is an Australian diarist, a Welsh preacher, a British painter and an American composer. None of these seem to exhibit a "substantially greater enduring notability and educational value". Unfortunately User:Bjenks edits to this page have left it in a broken state with the articles Joseph Jenkins (diarist) and Joseph Jenkins (pastor) missing. Per the comments at User_talk:JarrahTree#Puzzled I can assure you I'm not a bot. Tassedethe (talk) 16:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further editing by User:Bjenks has removed completely valid entries, per WP:DABMENTION and/or WP:DABRL. Tassedethe (talk) 16:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page views, incoming links and search results all confirm that there is no primary topic, with Joseph Willcox Jenkins being marginally the best candidate. The disambiguation page should be at the base name, and should clearly have entries for Joseph Jenkins (diarist) and Joseph Jenkins (pastor). The pharmacist of Jenkins House (West Palm Beach, Florida) also passes WP:DABMENTION, but I would leave out the coastguard officer unless we can find his details in Wikipedia.

I have reverted two edits by Bjenks, because they left the page in a state where there was no link to the diarist and where several valid entries were missing. If Bjenks or anyone else considers that the diarist is the primary topic, more likely to be sought than all other uses put together, they should make a formal multipage move proposal to move Joseph Jenkins to Joseph Jenkins (disambiguation) and move Joseph Jenkins (diarist) to Joseph Jenkins.

My apols to all for missing those points. Bjenks (talk) 09:17, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
