I changed 'international' to 'academic' because 'international' is irrelevant (or are we to assume that all internationals are academics?). 160.39.243.156 03:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to move this page to Hume (disambiguation). When somebody types in Hume or links to [[Hume]], in this encyclopedia, then they are going to want David Hume, not a rual municipality in New South Wales. If you disagree just move it back. -- Mac Davis ☢ ญƛ. 06:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Done. I'm not sure it really mattered, as long as Hume redirected to the disambiguation page not the philosopher. But IMO admins should do anything within policy if consensus requests it, so I have.
Agree about laziness and piped links, mea culpa on occasions. The whole idea of disambiguation pages is that wikilinks to them should be both rare and mostly temporary (the exceptions being the disambig notices at the tops of disambiguated articles).
The redirect from Hume (disambiguation) seems quite as harmless as it is pointless, so I'm leaving it there. Maybe we should even update it a few times to give it a history, which may prevent a recurrence. Not quite sure. Andrewa 10:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I have to strongly endorse changing the redirect back to David Hume. If someone doesn't know his first name is David, they are likely to be confused by the disambiguation page. It's hardly an accident that 9 of the first 10 google results on "Hume" are for David Hume. Other uses and personalities seem minor in comparison. The Hume race in Final Fantasy for instance isn't even mentioned on the page cited above. -- Beaker342 ( talk) 00:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I also strongly endorse changing the redirect back to David Hume. He is widely considered one of the most important philosophers ever, even more so in English (see, for instance, Edward Craig's Philosophy from the Oxford University Press). And he is widely referred to by his last name so it is very likely that people will search him through just "Hume". I'm bolding his name for now but please reconsider this. -- elzr ( talk) 07:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I kept hearing talk about this "Hume" guy, and so decided to quickly look up who was being referred to... getting the disambiguation page was quite disconcerting. I was prepared to look into each article about a person, and see which one seemed to fit the context better... Fortunately, David Hume was written in bold, and that wasn't necessary. So, while I think a disambiguation page will be disconcerting to those who know the philosopher simply as "Hume," the bold on his name is all that's really needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.175.164.61 ( talk) 15:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Why is only one name in bold? Bias much? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.0.54.202 ( talk) 02:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hume (disambiguation) – Redirect
Hume to
David Hume per
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Googling "hume"
without personal search bias gives David Hume. Also see the
page views of the five most popular pages linked to from this page during the past 90 days (all the other pages linked to have on average fewer than 100 views per day). Notice that the two most popular pages other than
David Hume don't even contain the word "Hume" in their article titles: One is a movie that came out this year that for a single day peaked at two thousand views, and the other is a place name in Final Fantasy XII. Only
David Hume has over one thousand views every day. The
primary topic for
Hume is clearly
David Hume.
