I think from the page views spike at announcement from facebook, that Calibra should point to Libra (cryptocurrency) rather than Opel Calibra. Bogger (talk) 09:26, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Quoting Widefox from my talk page (so as to keep discussion here) Bogger (talk) 09:26, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Take it to the talk, or RfD, please stop edit warring over it. It's contested. A dab with a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and 1 other item is WP:TWODABS. Widefox; talk 09:14, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
In particular, see WP:2DABPRIMARY. Your unilateral removal of the primary topic is contested. Are you going to discuss or not? Widefox; talk 09:23, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Consider the first para above as my opening argument for discussion. I've worked in good faith, sorry for the disagreement. I reverted your revert while providing evidence in the summary that the primary target had changed. I'm happy for you to revert pending discussion here. Also feel free to add a discussion template for a change in Primary topic or change from redirect to disambiguation (I couldn't find one). Bogger (talk) 09:33, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Did you check the MOS links before doing this? See Opel Calibra where there's a hatnote to point to the new and very minor (in the grand scheme of things) Facebook subsid. The car has been the primarytopic for 13 years until you unilaterally changed it [1] to what may be a very transitory subsid - clear WP:RECENTISM in a TWODABS situation. I've pinged the dab project so more opinions are gathered. There's another dab Calibre (disambiguation) where the two items were already listed in addition to the completely per the MOS hatnote over the longstanding car primary topic. Instead of fixing the Calibre (disambiguation) dab (per WP:INTDAB), how about just reverting this unilateral, contested and superfluous Calibra dab back to the longstanding primary topic?

Revert Done. Bogger (talk) 09:56, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • No need for a dab page. If the encyclopedia gains more information about the company than just its mention in a list, there might be a case for a dab page, but at present the redirect to Opel Calibra, with the clear hatnote offering Calibra (company), is the best deal for the reader. If they want the car, they are there in one; if they want the company, it's one more click, as it would be through the dab page. Keep the car as the Primary Topic for now.
