Roberta → Roberta (musical)
Roberta (given name) → Roberta

– (no preference between finding the name primary or deciding there's no primary and making the dab the base name) Doesn't clear the field in pageviews (not even counting people) and little impression in Google Books/Scholar searches. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 01:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clickstreams for Roberta for last month already show the hatnote and the film version article far ahead on top of the outgoing clickstreams, which is very suspect. Indeed, if we consider that this is reasonably common given name, requiring two clicks to get to those biographies is obviously bad navigation (we know from prior examples that there is a contingent of readers who are browsing like this). All-time mass views for all topics named Roberta show the interest in the film (69/day) eclipsing the interest in the musical at the base term (38/day). Clickstreams for Roberta (disambiguation) for last month show readers going for the people list and the film as well. All-time mass views for all people named Roberta in turn show a grossly different picture, with Flack getting 1079/day, McCain 629/day, Vinci 327/day, Shore 282/day, Williams 248/day a featured article, Metsola 207/day, ... the long-term significance of the musical can't compare with all that. Put the people list at the base name, leave the film and the musical in the hatnote just in case, and then let's see how the stats look like a couple months later.

Support 1st, oppose 2nd, no clear primary topic per views so move the DAB to base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moving the disambiguation list to the base name would be an improvement over the current situation, though it'd still be burying the lede. While there's certainly a contingent of readers who are interested in these 1930s works of art, it's doubtful they're more significant to the average English reader than the concept of the name and a bazillion eponymous people. --Joy (talk) 08:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
