Rickling (disambiguation) → Rickling
Rickling → Rickling, Germany

– While the German one is certainly more notable it generally gets less views than the English one, as this is ENWP it is more likely that people searching will be looking for the village in England. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:21, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I can't even tell what on earth the one in England is. The town seems to be called Rickling Green and the actual legal entity seems to be called Quendon and Rickling Red Slash 16:38, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The English one is a village and former civil parish, it was abolished in 1949 to create Quendon and Rickling. Rickling Green is a separate settlement. Crouch, Swale (talk) 05:29, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative. The nominator's logic is that the German one isn't the primary topic. My Google search (from outside UK) indicates to me that the English one is actually the primary topic, and it has more page views despite the disambiguator. I therefore propose moving Rickling, Essex to the base name and leaving the disambiguation page where it is. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But the German one probably wins with the 2nd criteria of PT, however we could just delete the DAB and move the English one to the base name and have a hatnote to the German one which would only require 1 click either way. The amt is already linked on the German one so that shouldn't be an issue. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:05, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving the dab page to the base term, no clear primary topic between the two settlements. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
