OKCOKC (disambiguation)Oklahoma City is the WP:PRIMARYUSAGE for "OKC." Once moved, OKC should redirect to Oklahoma City to reflect this. -- Tavix (talk) 21:57, 22 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose OKC doesn't suggest Oklahoma City to anyone outside the States. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, pretty obvious primary topic regardless of where in the world you are from or whether you had ever heard of any of these topics before. olderwiser 11:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. It is not obvious to me. (I am in England.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
A WP:PRIMARYTOPIC claim has nothing to do with "obviousness." It's asking whether someone searching "OKC" is looking for Oklahoma City more than any other topic. From my searches, the only other use that could even attempt to compete is OkCupid, and even then my searches shows the metro area of 1.5m people being used significantly more than the dating site, especially due to the prominence of "OKC Thunder" being a common name for the basketball team. -- Tavix (talk) 12:56, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, because it seems that it's also very common to refer to the basketball team as just "OKC", which means it competes with its city for primary topic status for this term. References to OKC are better left disambiguated. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 16:52, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. The city is far and away the primary topic. Calidum ¤ 04:51, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, not a clause term as an abbreviation. ApprenticeFan work 06:10, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

OKC = Outcomes edit

In addition to Oklahoma City, OKC also means (or can mean) an abbreviation for Organizational Knowledge Creation, which is discussed in the Knowledge Management article (but not as such). I have also seen it used to suggest a string of words beginning with 'outcomes. etc.). I would urge including the term Organizational Knowledge Creation.[1][2] However, it would require a stub article. MaynardClark (talk) 21:04, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
