- The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move per request as to the main request as the primary topic based on page views evidence. However, as to the second part, we do not need to make a dab page when there is a primary topic, and a hatnote will be placed instead. See WP:TWODABS. The opposition has been discounted as not relevant to application of the policy but rather a statement against the primary topic policy itself. That is a discussion, if at all, for Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation or another relevant forum.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 15:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Straightforward WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Add a hatnote to point to the novel article, and we should be set. Dohn joe ( talk) 15:03, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
