Madala (disambiguation) → Madala – Should be bad practice to reserve entry Madala (already did moving!) to Indian village. There are two villages in India, one in Estonia and other meanings also Estopedist1 (talk) 17:01, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and revert move for now. While the Estonia article was only created yesterday, of the other candidates on the DAB only Tholie Madala gets any sizeable page views (3,558 since 2015) compared to Madala, Andhra Pradesh with 13,506 (i.e. the page views for "Madala" since the nominator only moved it yesterday) and the rest nowhere.

By WP:PRIMARYUSAGE the Andhra Pradesh village should be at the base page name: the village gets about three times as many hits as all other topics on the disambiguation page combined. Even assuming the worst case that every hit for every other PTM originated at Madala (which is highly unlikely: the disambiguation page gets only 494 hits, and didn't exist until May 2017), it gets over twice as many. 94.21.10.195 (talk) 04:12, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. All villages. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:03, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
