1000 (disambiguation)1000 – This was an option floated as part of Talk:1000 (number)#Requested move 7 August 2019 which had substantial support but was not part of the original move request. Entering this move request as part of the close activities of that move request. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • STRONGLY SUPPORT per nom. There is no primary topic for "1000", and if there was one, it wouldn't be the year. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:56, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Support no primarytopic. Dicklyon (talk) 03:08, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. One step at a time. The previous RM might be summarised thus: the year is at the basename; should it remain so? The consensus was that it should not, and that the year should be at AD 1000. This new RM might be summarised thus: should 1000 be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to AD 1000, or should it be a DAB page? Between those two options only, IMO the answer is clear: the year, best known as one in which several people were approximately born, is not WP:PTOPIC, and 1000 should be a DAB page.
The question of whether or not the number should be at the basename is a separate one. I have an opinion on that, but I am not going to argue it here because it would muddy the discussion. One step at a time! If the consensus of this RM is that 1000 should be a DAB page rather than a redirect, only then might the question of whether or not the number is PTOPIC be raised.

  • Support per above.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support if there was a primary topic it would probably be the number but given the problem with incoming external links a DAB probably makes most sense. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:19, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support If there is no clear consensus about main meaning, than reader will pick a variant she was seeking.·Carn !? 11:48, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support – The year is clearly not the primary topic according to our criteria. Promoting the numer to primary topic may warrant a later discussion. — JFG talk 06:36, 1 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. The year is certainly not a primary topic, so the proposal is an improvement, regardless of whether another topic is primary. As for further moves, it seems marginal whether the number is primary. When we're in doubt, readers will be too, so the disambiguation page should occupy the base name.
