OBL → OBL (disambiguation) – We don't have to like it, but Osama bin Laden is an overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. Using last month's statistics, he's got 219,222 hits to 843, 802, and 322 for the other topics listed here. This page should be renamed and OBL should redirect. --BDD (talk) 22:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment that doesn't prove that he's the primary topic of "OBL", only that his page gets alot of hits. -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 15:28, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I see no proof that "OBL" is used overwhelmingly for Usama, indeed, from a simple Google search, it does not seem dominant. -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 15:28, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- The question is not whether bin Laden beats out all other possible uses of OBL but whether he beats out these uses listed on the dab page. Excluding acronym dictionaries, there's no mention of the other topics in the first five pages of results, which is as far as I checked. --BDD (talk) 15:52, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. "OBL" is not a particularly common abbreviation for Osama bin Laden. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Some initialism are widely-used and instantly recognizable, like FDR or JFK. "OBL" is not; there is little evidence of actual usage. If I saw it in isolation and out of context, it would take a while to puzzle out what it meant. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 01:40, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
