Talk:Murattu Kaalai (1980 film)

Article history

I had to trace the history of this article so just for future reference, this is the short version! Murattu Kalai was created in April 2007 and Murattukaalai was created in July 2008. In Sept 2008 the former was merged into the latter, which was immediately moved to Murattu Kaalai. In Jan 2009 this was moved to Murattu Kaalai (1980 film) to make way for a disambiguation with what became the 2012 remake. There's quite a lot of history at Talk:Murattu Kalai going back to 2007, which was ditched in favour of a blank Talk page at Talk:Murattukaalai which became this page.FlagSteward (talk) 10:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Murattu Kaalai (1980 film) → Murattu Kaalai – This is quite obviously the primary topic, the DAB page shouldn't exist per WP:TWODABS, and the 1980 original has consistently received higher viewership than the less notable 2012 remake except on a few occasions. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:55, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Here are the viewership details.

• Support. The original film does get more pageviews but not overwhelmingly so; however, it does have greater long-term significance so on that basis it clearly meets the primary topic criteria. The dab page is therefore redundant when a hatnote will suffice. PC78 (talk) 10:47, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:TWODABS which allows dual dabs in exactly this scenario In ictu oculi (talk) 19:48, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nom and PC78. The fact that the 1980 film gets almost 1.5x the views and is also the original and much older, giving it an air of long-term significance, is enough IMHO.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:27, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Must agree with In ictu oculi. "Almost 1.5x the views" is less than persuasive when it obviously is not "highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, [...]—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term". Not convinced as to long-term significance either unless "it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term". I'd have to say prove it; failing that, the status quo should remain as is. P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 01:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
