Franco-American (disambiguation)Franco-AmericanFranco-American is a redirect to French Americans, and that does seem to be the topic that most pages linking there right now intend. At least some some of those pages seem to intend something else, however, such as Talk:SpaghettiOs (Franco-American (brand)) or Flame of Liberty (Franco-American relations?). Since these are obviously errors, it is also possible that more similar errors existed but were corrected in the past. I suspect that there is actually no primary topic for this word. For example, Wiktionary:Franco-American lists the people as its second sense; the first sense is "involving both France, and the United States or Canada". American Heritage Dictionary has essentially the same senses, but with the order swapped so that French Americans is first. The Oxford English Dictionary has Franco- "‘regarding France, the French, or French-speakers’, as Franco-American, Franco-Canadian," etc., which would include people or countries, inter alia. Therefore, it seems to me that the disambiguation page should be at the bare title, as WP:Disambiguation recommends for cases with no clear primary topic.
