– Clearly the primary topic and therefore what most users are looking for, all other entries at the disambiguation are named after the region. IgnorantArmies (talk) 13:46, 15 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The only other uses for the term "Cotton Belt" are a small community in Arkansas and for two railroads, all of which were presumably named for the wider region in which they are located. Given the historical importance of cotton to the U.S. I would imagine the Cotton Belt region has been the subject of more coverage than the railroads.

That's the kind of stats I would expect a nom to provide, rather than just a claim of "clearly". Unfortunately, those stats contradict his case, since there are quite a few days when the article doesn't even have a plurality win on views. A disambig page is better for such situations.

Except we don't look at individual days -- we look at the sample as a whole. Given the statistics, and the long term significance of the region, it should be clear what the primary topic is here. Calidum ¤ 15:05, 21 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
