KBJKBJ (disambiguation) – I would like to move this article to KBJ (disambiguation) and change "KBJ" to a redirect to Ketanji Brown Jackson, and add a "KBJ redirects here" hatnote on her page pointing to the disambig page. Even looking at traffic statistics before her Supreme Court nomination, she had far more pageviews than the other topics linked here; now, as a sitting SC justice, this is very unlikely to change anytime soon.

  • Oppose - no evidence has been proffered that this is an initialism commonly used to refer to the justice Red Slash 16:35, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose Per Red Slash. There seems to be no primary topic here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 23:09, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    @Red Slash and Zxcvbnm: virtually all of the outgoing traffic from the dab page is for the justice [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 12:01, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Disambiguation pages are not a search index. If her name was literally "KBJ" I would think differently, but that is not actually her name. Nor is that even a WP:COMMONNAME for her, as LBJ is for Lyndon B. Johnson. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 12:38, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
    How common "KBJ" is relative to all the other names used to refer to her is a question that's relevant, say, when deciding whether to mention that term in the article's lede. But what we need be looking at here is something else: how common she is as the reference of the term compared to all the other things the term can refer to. – Uanfala (talk) 13:00, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • This article is overwhelmingly the primary topic with respect to usage. The only consideration that I see here against the move is the need to avoid hatnote clutter: the proposed move will be of convenience to an average of 3 daily readers who navigate every day from the dab page to that article, but it will add a hatnote that will have to be loaded by the thousands of daily visitors of the article. I'm inclined to think that the costs outweigh the benefits here. – Uanfala (talk) 13:00, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, not her common name or identifier (there are relatively few historical figures listed on Wikipedia by redirects of their initials). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:12, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, not her common name or identifier as above - and high threshold for a TLA PT. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:57, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
