WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by pageviews, as it gets about 350 more views a day than the next closest topic, Bouncer (cricket), and has over the long term. There is not really any other potential topic that comes close, as things entitled "The Bouncer" can be distinguished from it. In that case, the film and video game are competing topics, so The Bouncer should remain a redirect to the disambiguation page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Opppose. The outgoing traffic from the dab page is mostly split between the doorman and The Bouncer (video game)[1]. Given that the game is over 20 years old (a time frame comparable to the period in which the term "bouncer" became popular [2]), I don't see any particular reason for treating the two topics as having different long-term significance. – Uanfala (talk) 13:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: I am not suggesting "The Bouncer" not be disambiguated. The version with "The" is still ambiguous. Also, the video game is clearly based off the name for the job. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:07, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support In addition to the longterm significance, the video game always seems to be referred to as "The Bouncer" and users searching for Bouncer alone therefore are unlikely to be intending to end up on that page.--Yaksar(let's chat) 20:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no need to speculate about what readers want when searching when we already have the relevant data. See https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Bouncer – the video game link on the dab page receives almost as many clicks as the link for the doorman. The traffic data doesn't account from where the readers arrived (whether they went directly to Doorman or the used the redirect The Doorman), but you can infer some upper and lower bounds from the relevant pageviews [3]. The most important bit of information is that significantly less than half of the readers who arrive on the dab page follow the link for the doorman. – Uanfala (talk) 21:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again, we're simply talking about moving the dab page away from "Bouncer", not about targeting "The Bouncer" there as well. It's unlikely that when people type "Bouncer", full stop, into the search, they are looking for the video game. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm finding it increasingly incomprehensible why you all continue making claims that are plainly contradicted by the data presented so far. From the links above: for the month of January, the views for
Bouncer (doorman) was clicked 87 times. – Uanfala (talk) 13:24, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Just to clarify: if your argument is to disregard usage altogether, count only long-term significance and exclude the game per
WP:SMALLDIFFS, then that's a valid argument to make (one that I disagree with, but still a valid one). – Uanfala (talk) 13:58, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply
