"Could be" doesn't mean we don't leave the dab at the base name; otherwise no dab would be at the base name. What topic do you think is the primary one, and why? --

It's not the one most viewed. It's the one most sought by people searching on "BI". Traffic stats will not give you that information (although clever use of redirects can get closer). Even if the stats were the correct stats, the metric is "much more likely than any other, and more likely than all the others combined", not simply "more viewed" (
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC). --

Bohemia Interactive Information
I've seen Bohemia Interactive shortened to BI quite often. I believe this would be suitable to 'Organizations'.

My preference would be to use lowercase letters as the default where practicable (i.e. where there are two or more senses of the term using lowercase letters).

I would generally oppose such a split on the grounds that people might lazily type "bi" in the search window when searching for "BI" topics. We routinely have a single disambiguation page for all two letter variations. Doubling the number of pages to police for that function is not something I look forward to.

We're not supposed to cater only to lazy people :) Those people will see that they landed at the lowercase page, immediately notice their trivial mistake, and look for the link to the uppercase page. As long as we don't obfuscate that link, we're fine. --

Oppose as proposed and doubly oppose a split. "Bi" is not a true word in English and therefore we should keep the disambiguation page at BI.

Red Slash that helps. On the same basis would you approve of a move of
Di to
DI and
Re to
RE?
Oppose Page needed major cleanup per
WP:MOSDAB. Done. More clear now...refute premise that balance of Bi to BI is that strong. (Not opposed to rename based on two letter dab consistency, per DAB project discussion). Per Red Slash, strong oppose split. What worries me is a page so badly out of style from MOSDAB and we're investing time debating renaming it. Fiddling while Rome burns maybe. Widefox;
