– Clearly not primary over Yelling (vocalization). Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:32, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Of course the redirect should not go to 'Yelling (vocalization)' but to 'Screaming' (per bd2412 below) which now is a disamb. redirect of 'Yell'. Not surprising that 'Yelling (vocalization)' gets almost no hits. I fixed my comment above. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • There seems to be some confusion regarding the 4 support comments registered so far. As Dekimasu has already pointed out, those favoring redirecting Yelling to Screaming oppose the first proposal, not support it. As I understand it, the proposal is that Yelling be a dab page because there is no primary topic. Station1 (talk) 06:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Its not surprising that the redirect Yelling (vocalization) got almost no hits, the redirect was bypassed until I fixed it. Anyway the DAB page gets more than 10% of the views of the article [[2]] indicating many readers are landing on the wrong page. See this comment for explanation. I would argue that "Yelling" should redirect to Screaming but given the move revert and the oppose argument it maybe should be a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:14, 10 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I didn't realize that Yelling (vocalization) had been a pipe to Shout (sound) (the former title of, and current redirect to, Screaming) and not a direct link. That does make some difference. And 10%+ of the hits on Yelling is indeed a high percentage for a dab page, but is still fewer than 2 people per day compared to 9-10 who are apparently happy with the town. Frankly, those numbers are so low that it doesn't matter much what we do, especially since the majority of those 9 will find the town directly whatever we title its article.
