Kingsmill → Kingsmill (geographical area) – I suggest we add disambiguation to this article, and redirect "Kingsmill" to Richard Kingsmill (with the hatnote {{Redirect|Kingsmill}} at the top of the page). Upon doing research, I noticed that a Google Search for this topic immediately turns up results for the radio presenter, with no results for the residential area. I believe Richard to be the primary topic for this name, which the page views tool seems to support, as his article has received significantly more page views over time. Sean Stephens (talk) 09:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support but move Kingsmill (disambiguation) to Kingsmill since the place in Virginia gets 305 views compared to 355 views for Richard so even if everyone used "Kingsmill" to get to "Richard Kingsmill" he wouldn't be primary by usage. My Google results show all but the WP DAB page and massacre (in the middle of the results) are for the bread and that's what I assumed was at the base name when I saw this in the recent changes linked from Category:Requested moves. Images also returns little other than the bread and Books doesn't appear to show anything for Richard. Views for Associated British Foods (where Kingsmill (bread) redirects to) are 6,032 and the massacre is 1,696[[1]] but again like Richard the massacre is a PTM and people will be getting to the company via other terms as well. I'd also move the area to Kingsmill (Virginia) since there are a few other places and thus the proposed title may be ambiguous. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:43, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this
Move to Kingsmill, Virginia. Do not redirect to Richard Kingsmill. Very definitely no primary topic here. In Britain, for instance, it would certainly be the bread. Move Kingsmill (disambiguation) to basename. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:46, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support this alternative, per WP:USPLACE and WP:NOPRIMARY. 162 etc. (talk) 14:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:30, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support this, no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC so DAB should be at base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:03, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
