– "Right Bank" most commonly refers to the Bordeaux wine region. That may or may not be enough for primary topic, but the region of Paris certainly is not the primary topic. "Left Bank" can refer to the Bordeaux region along with many, many other things; again, the Parisian region is not the primary topic. King of ♥ 02:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak support 1st, views[[1]] but its not clear if any is primary, support 2nd since Bordeaux wine regions gets more views (2,697) than Rive Droite (730)[[2]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Pageviews are not a great comparison here, because the Parisian regions are more commonly referred to in English with their French names, whereas the Bordeaux regions are referred to in English almost exclusively with their English names. -- King of ♥ 03:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support These are clearly not the primary topics—blindlynx (talk) 14:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I can't see that the Parisian regions are not the primary topics here. Far better-known than anything else by these names. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:47, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. It is difficult to ascertain a primary topic by usage, so I agree with King above in that respect, but I'd also note that the Bordeaux wine regions covers both the Left Bank (for which there is currently no redirect) and Right Bank (with only a sentence case redirect Right bank (wine)). Without Left Bank (wine region) or Right Bank (wine region) or similar, it's difficult to assert that they might be primary topics. Nevertheless, I think there's enough lack of clarity to say there is no primary topic and the disambiguation pages should be moved to the base names over the existing redirects. There will be a lot of clearing up to do with incoming links. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
