Maricopa → Maricopa (disambiguation) – Maricopa should redirect to Maricopa County, Arizona. It is the clear primary topic, it gets more views than all others combined. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• Support the main Maricopa. Hyperbolick (talk) 03:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose the county is named after the Maricopa. Obviously native Americans will get less page views than the land taken from them. But given that the county, Arizona article is already well titled... In ictu oculi (talk) 08:27, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

  @In ictu oculi: I'm not proposing renaming the county article, but that the county tends to be what people are looking for with the term "Maricopa". Elli (talk | contribs) 10:07, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. With a population of 4,485,414, Maricopa County, Arizona is certainly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the Maricopa (disambiguation) page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 11:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose as there's no primary topic with respect to usage. Clickstream data shows that in the month of November, 256 visitors of the dab page followed the link to the county, 187 clicked on the link to the city, 141 – the ethnic group, and 51 went for the moth. – Uanfala (talk) 13:24, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose Maricopa County, Arizona gets more views but is it usually just called Maricopa? Links would also have to be checked - the only link from the draft namespace https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Jon_Melby&oldid=1005872553 looks like it was intended for the city of Maricopa, Arizona although the place mentioned (Estrella Sailport) is in an unincorporated area of Pinal County between the city and Maricopa County.

• Oppose as per Uanfala. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 14:36, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose. I'm not convinced the county is called just "Maricopa" enough to make it the primary topic. -- Calidum 14:53, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose. Like others who oppose above: in terms of common, long-term usage by most news organizations and other reliable sources in the U.S. regarding their cities and counties, just entering "Maricopa" appears to almost always refer to a particular city or town, and never refer to a county. Rather, one would instead enter the full "Maricopa County" into the search box. Thus a primary redirect would be counter productive to those readers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 21:49, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose, No WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose the city and people seem more likely for the single word per WP:PTM, the county is "Maricopa County not just "Maricopa". Crouch, Swale (talk) 06:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
