The fact that "Reagan" redirects to "Ronald Reagan" is evidence of systemic bias and idiocy, nothing more. That's not an example to view as a precedent. In fact, I imagine if I have time I will take it upon myself to fix the error. If people are not known as specifically and solely "Aquino", then they are cannot possibly be a target for the word "Aquino". The town is known specifically and solely as "Aquino". Regardless, a hat note, as I said, could solve any potential problems. There is no justification for a move. RGloucester — ☎ 04:21, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If one is talking about WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, one must reference the actual term. The only term up for discussion here is "Aquino" alone, with no appendages. "Aquino", with no appendages, only ever refers to the town. None of the stuff or people listed at that page is known solely by the word "Aquino". Unless one can find something with the exact name "Aquino", with no appendages, that we have an article on, there is no justification for adding length to the title. That's a pure canard, that bit about "no primary topic". RGloucester — ☎ 06:21, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In the abstract, I agree with you; this is why Lincoln is a dab page and Charlotte takes you to the American city. I wrote WP:TPTM to support the claim you are behind here. But this is a very small town, and there are a whole lotta TPTM's. Red Slash 21:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think I agree with Red Slash here. The current setup is misdirecting a significant amount traffic to a town most readers haven't even heard of. "In theory" we have our rules and the practical/technical side isn't our concern. But when 38 percent (440/1157) of readers are taking the hat note to the DAB, there is obviously a problem.

Alternative proposal or perhaps clarification[edit]

To clarify, I propose that we make this a multi-move and also move Aquino (disambiguation) to Aquino. That's what I assumed would happen in due course had the original proposal gone ahead, as while it's been claimed that Corazon Aquino is a better candidate than the town for primary meaning, no case has been made that there is any primary meaning at all. There seems some confusion on this above, but I think there is an underlying if rough consensus on this. Relisting to allow discussion along these lines. I have flagged Talk:Aquino (disambiguation) [1] to make this a legitimate multi-move. Andrewa (talk) 04:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The primary meaning of "Aquino", and only "Aquino", is the town. This article is not titled "Aquino family" or "So and So Aquino". It is only titled "Aquino", and Aquino alone can only refer to one thing: the town. RGloucester — ☎ 00:26, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Aquino alone can only refer to one thing: the town... This may explain a lot, because it's just not true. I am often called Alder (my surname), most recently in he settlement process in which I am buying a property from Nolan and Osgood (their surnames), and any Aussie knows who Bradman was, most people know who Churchill was, etc etc etc. It's a very common way of referring to a person; In many contexts it is the normal way. Many Wikipedia surnames redirect to an article on a specific person, because that person is the primary meaning of the word. But I'm not saying that Cory Aquino is the primary meaning of Aquino, just that this is a possible meaning. That is normally the case with surnames, as the examples I've given all indicate (if an individual is the primary meaning, then a fortiori it is also a possible meaning). Have you any evidence to support Aquino being an exception to that pattern? Andrewa (talk) 13:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Evidence for that claim? Without qualification, no person is ever just called "Aquino". RGloucester — ☎ 21:54, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How about many of the instances here. Books like Aquino's Philippines, The Post-Aquino Philippines and The Philippines Under Aquino. They're not referring to a village of 5000 souls in Italy. —  AjaxSmack  03:04, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
