– The religious use of the word "ordinary" is bordering on jargon; it's not familiar to laypeople and doesn't seem likely as a search term -- readers are far more likely to look up titles like "Bishop". With other uses being in heraldry and popular music, I think it highly unlikely that this use is more likely than all the other uses combined to be the one readers are looking for.

  • Support per nom WP:JARGON and the other uses are just as likely. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 01:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. No clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:59, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, with alternative. What about just Ordinary (officer)? According to the article, there are civic ordinaries, especially in the US. I'll investigate to see if I can add to that aspect of ordinariness. Otherwise, I agree - a peek at stats.grok.se shows that the most popular "Ordinary" article is actually Ordinary (film), but since it is not more popular than the others combined, a dab page is best.

    • I'm certainly not attached to my proposed disambiguator. Powers T 15:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
