the film is becoming a hit more than the novel. At this time, there are no other challenging topics. George Ho (talk) 10:50, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose Way too many alternatives to assume any one item is primary. Before you moved the novel article to its current disambiguated title, pageviews were very close to even. If that dropped after you moved the article, that's an indication that a lot of people were looking for something other than one of those two items. Powers T 23:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
    • Those episodes aren't that popular; each has hit less than 10 or 15 views per day. Moreover, there is no one else to create other articles with the same name yet. --George Ho (talk) 23:45, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
      • Look, the film is recent, which inflates its pageviews. It was popular, but not overridingly so... certainly not so popular that anyone looking for "My Sister's Keeper" would be likely to have heard of the film or the novel and be unsurprised that they've been taken to one of those articles by default. The phrase, as a variation on "my brother's keeper", is just too common to assign to any use that isn't totally dominant in popular culture. Powers T 20:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose WP:RECENTISM, and per Powers. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 05:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose: used too widely in many titles to say that the film, or the novel, merits being the primary topic. PamD 20:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
