• Oppose multiple topics which occur in articles on Wikipedia about things called "Recipe for Murder" exist. Disambiguation page should be the primary landing point -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• There is already a different topic at the target name. There are also several other candidate topics on Wikipedia. We should create a dab page and try to determine whether there is a primary topic here or not. Is it clear that this one-hour TV docudrama is more notable than the CSI episode? —BarrelProof (talk) 01:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps not, but a hatnote should take care of that. I just thought that forcing the only article of its name into having a bracketed disambiguator because of re-direct to a 40-minute CSI episode not notable enough to have standalone article seemed a bit odd.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 02:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia already mentioned the Ridley play in Whodunit article and was mislinking to the Australian 2011 TV docudrama as a result. I have created a dab from what was a CSI redirect as BarrelProof suggests. This proposal therefore now requires the dab be moved to Recipe for Murder (disambiguation) if the 2011 Australian TV docudrama is really judged WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Ok thanks. I'm satisfied now with the status quo.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 03:09, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose - sorry no, a quick look in Google books doesn't suggest that the Australian TV docudrama is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, if anything the Arnold Ridley 1932 play or Vincent Starrett 1934 story would contest for that spot, I would even be inclined to add (2011 film) to the dab, searches produce the 2002 American TV film as much as the 2011 Australian TV film. Once an article is dabbed it is best to have full not partial disambiguation per WP:CRITERIA. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
