Gossip Girl (disambiguation) → Gossip Girl – We don't need every article named Gossip Girl with parenthesis in them, so why don't we move just this one to Gossip Girl. Bob Mono (talk) 19:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

• Weak support - Agree that dab page must be "Gossip Girl", but every other article needs to be disambiguated to avoid confusion. I somehow don't get what you were saying. --George Ho (talk) 01:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support. It doesn't make any sense for "Gossip Girl" to redirect to "Gossip Girl (disambiguation)", so this is an improvement. But shouldn't Gossip Girl (TV series) be primary topic? Kauffner (talk) 02:18, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes. Gossip Girl (TV series) is the primary topic. The nominator just moved the article (twice). There is a previous WP:RM where consensus was that the TV series is the primary topic. Nymf _hideliho! 08:03, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
• Comment: Move back Gossip Girl (TV series) to Gossip Girl as per the previous WP:RM and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Nymf _hideliho! 08:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support Currently [[Gossip Girl] is redirecting to this disambiguation page, so, there is not purpose of that page. We can easily move it there! --Tito Dutta ✉ 12:20, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
  • It is only pointing to this DAB page because the nominator moved the primary topic to Gossip Girl (TV series). Nymf _hideliho! 12:44, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
• Comment I tried moving Gossip Girl (TV series) to Gossip Girl due to a message on my talk page, but it was invalid. I know the show may be the main topic, but it's not that popular, considering its ratings. It's based on the novel series and there is an unrelated EP. I know that could be a bad reason, but Gossip Girl (TV series) is not really the main topic. In fact, no topics here are! Bob Mono (talk) 20:33, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

By looking at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, we can see that one of the criterias is "usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term".

If we look at the statistics for the TV series here and the novel series here, we can see that the TV series gets about 475 000 hits per month, whereas the novel gets about 25 000 hits a month. That makes the television series 20 more popular than the novel series, clearly making it the primary topic. Nymf _hideliho! 22:29, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
