Red meat (disambiguation) → Red Meat – Red Meat, which already redirects to Red meat (disambiguation), should be the main title header, thus obviating the need for the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)". Anyone searching for the article on raw flesh can access it directly by simply typing the lowercase Red meat. Other meanings, except for another redirect, Red meat (journalism), use uppercase "M". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:16, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally Red Meat (comic strip) should be moved back to Red Meat because it is the WP:primary topic between the only two articles titled "Red Meat" on WP: the comic strip and the band. Red Meat as a redirect gets only about one hit every other day[1], so it's not being put to any good use now. As a second choice, it might as well be used for the dab page that has only capitalized terms, as the nom mentions (I removed red meat (journalism), since it inexplicably redirects to red herring, which has nothing to do with journalism and where the term is not mentioned).

@Station1: I think think you shouldn't have just removed the qualified entry, if you think the redirect is inappropriate you should start a RFD but I support this even with the redirect. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:34, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone is free to put it back, of course, but it makes no sense whatsoever to me. If no one objects here, maybe I'll start a RFD after this RM is closed. Or an admin can just delete it if there's consensus here per WP:NOTBURO. - Station1 (talk) 05:35, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:DABNAME since as noted all the articles use title case and if someone has not selected one of the other uses in the search suggestions (which would come up first if it wasn't for the links generated from the RM) they want the DAB anyway. I'd wondered about making this request myself. Oppose moving the comic strip back since its not the primary topic for the upper case even though the meat probably isn't. While I strongly support DIFFCAPS its asking too much for the comic strip to be primary over the meat, band, episode and film. While the comic strip does get more (1,002) than the band (155) the meat gets many more (66,477) and its reasonable to think a percentage or 2 of the time the meat will be capitalized.
