The result of the debate was move to Economy (see Moe's rationale below)
Economy (activity) → Economy – Economy is just a redirect to this article. Mace 15:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

With all due respect to the opposers, it's easier said than done. What links here for Economy shows ~600 incoming links, so a bot intervention would be required to fix them all. Of those, the majority is result of (to an extent indiscriminate) linking like economy of the area is based on fishing and agriculture..., which shows that this is the primary topic. Yet many others are result of misspelling, ...he studied economy (instead of economics). I didn't find usages related with fuel economy, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are those, too. The current situation is not acceptable though -- Economy should be either a dab page or devoted to Economy (activity), but not a redirect. Duja 08:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
It is clearly impossible to ensure that all editors will correctly link to the desired article in all ocasions if they don't look—the point of the guideline is to ensure that at least a majority does so. Duja 07:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC)When there is a well known primary meaning for a term or phrase (indicated by a majority of links in existing articles and consensus of the editors of those articles that it will be significantly more commonly searched for and read than other meanings), then that topic may be used for the title of the main article, with a disambiguation link at the top. Where there is no such clearly dominant usage there is no primary topic page.
The first thing that occurs to me is that, if the dab page were moved to Economy for a while, it could be listed at WP:DPL, where armies of volunteers would sort out all of the incoming links, and redirect them to appropriate locations. At that point, it would be easier to determine that Economy (activity) is the primary use, move the dab page (now link free!) back to Economy (disambiguation), and move Economy (activity) to Economy without messing up any links.
The second thing that occurs to me is — that sounds convoluted. Still, I can't convince myself it's not the best way to handle this situation. - GTBacchus( talk) 22:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
It appears the article would be better off linked to Economy rather than Economy (activity). Reason(s) being:

Wouldn't it be great if people in authority had to take an oath not to "clip any coins". What I mean by this is, shouldn't people in appropriate political positions take an oath to do everything in their power not to inflate the economy? Obviously if they were to stop inflating right now it would cause a "Greater" depression. With that said though, I do believe we could ween ourselves off this mess of our economy. - stevenDP 21:33, 3 January 2012 (PST)

In the articles about the economies of most countries, like Economy of Russia#Data or Economy of Peru#Statistics, in the table section, the 6th column is named "GDP growth (real)". But I'm quite sure not the Real GDP growth is meant, but GDP by Purchasing power parity growth. The 6th column exactly shows the differance that can be calculated from data from the 2nd and 3rd columns. So, we should change the wording. -- 95.24.70.126 ( talk) 20:54, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
