• Revolutionary committee (disambiguation) → Revolutionary committee
• Revolutionary committee → Revolutionary committee (Soviet Union)

– There are several revolutionary committees on the disambiguation page, and there is nothing to suggest that the Soviet one at the primary topic meets the primary topic criteria. Revolutionary committee (China) appears to have at least as much long-term significance, and actually gets more pageviews alone over 90 days (597 vs 768) despite the Soviet one's bump from being at the primary topic title. It's tough to judge where the Yemeni one will wind up when the pageview spike from being in the news smooths out, but it's also worth noting - 1265 views since its creation February 8.

• Support. I agree there is no primary topic. – nafSadh did say 21:34, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
• Strong oppose There is an unquestionable historical primary meaning of the term. Historical things cannot be trumped by page hit counting or google searches. No matter how Madonna (singer) dominates the pop-culture, it will never be a primary topic for "Madonna" -M.Altenmann >t 03:35, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
• Strong support if anything, the Committee of Public Safety, the one from the French Revolution would be the primary topic. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:58, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Obviously you have no idea how wikipedia works and what disambiguation pages mean. -M.Altenmann >t 07:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
• Support, there is at present no evidence for the short-lived Bolshevik version being the primary topic. @Altenmann:, you do realize that Madonna is a disambiguation page. This proposal would make revolutionary committee analogous. older ≠ wiser 11:58, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

  Oopsies. -M.Altenmann >t 22:34, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• Support on evidence above. I had a good look at this, page stats don't tell the whole story but seem to indicate no primary topic fairly clearly here, as do ongoing significance considerations, so almost closed this but it's safer that I go back to bed instead, and in view of the outstanding strong oppose vote above hope one more contribution may instead make it an easier decision for another admin.

• Support it's a committee about a revolution, they had one in France too — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.162.73 (talk) 22:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
• Support: no evidence that the USSR committee is the primary topic. Ebonelm (talk) 18:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
