Carrie Brown (author) → Carrie Brown – Appears to be primary meaning, only one other meaning which looks relatively obscure. PatGallacher (talk) 01:55, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - not a strong oppose, but doesn't jump out of Google Books as the overwhelming meaning. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And there are two other "Carrie Browns" mentioned in articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:48, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment shouldn't Carrie Brown, Caroline Brown and Carolyn Brown be a joint merged dab page ? Carrie is a diminutive of Caroline/Carolyn. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:56, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose no evidence of primary topic. Carrie can be a diminutive, but is also a popular name in its own right, so I wouldn't support a merge either. Boleyn (talk) 07:44, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The only article with the title “Carrie Brown” now that the article Carrie Brown (murder victim) has been moved to Murder of Carrie Brown. Theparties (talk) 09:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Frost 11:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This article averages only 3 views per day in the past year, and there are at least five Carrie Brown topics discussed on Wikipedia, even without including the name variants mentioned in the disambiguation pages' "See also" list ("Carrie" could be a diminutive form of Carolyn or Caroline or a spelling variant of Kerrie or Kerry). It doesn't matter that one of them has a slightly different title now. Disambiguation is about topics, not titles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Moving a topic to the base name requires evidence of its being the primary topic, and my reading of page views indicates there isn't one ([1]). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
