– "Risk factor" is a broad concept and it is not clear that the use in epidemiology is the primary topic. Move the disambiguation page to the base name and tag as Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:06, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

- Commment: If "risk factor" is a broad concept, it should not be a disambiguation page at all, but should be an article on the general concept of "factors" enhancing "risk". I would propose creating that article as a draft before moving anything. bd2412 T 14:02, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- I echo User:BD2412's comment; either create a WP:CONCEPTDAB or leave everything as is. — AjaxSmack 03:27, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- @BD2412: @AjaxSmack: Yes I see what you mean. I've amended the proposal (since no-one else has commented) and welcome your further comment). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:49, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Striking those words doesn't change the fact that there is clearly a broad concept underlying this phrase, and that it should be created before anything is moved. bd2412 T 11:27, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

- ...Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. By far, the most common use of "risk factor" is in epidemiology as is reflected in Google Web and Books results. — AjaxSmack 16:08, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
