Rikki (name) → Rikki – Obvious primary topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:31, 14 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 14:49, 21 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 06:56, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

• Pageviews for full title matches. Colin M (talk) 19:54, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
• Support: Looking at Colin M's data, it doesn't seem quite so obvious, but the singers are subtopics of Rikki (name), and they are not overwhelmingly dominating the page views, so the suggestion seems fine in my opinion. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:30, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
• Convert Rikki to a dab, move Rikki (name) to Rikki (given name) There are two mononymous people, Rikki (Japanese singer) and Rikki (British singer). The rest have Rikki as a given name, which should be disambiguated with (given name) per WP:APOTITLE.—Bagumba (talk) 09:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Rikki was the title of the article about the Japanese singer for 10 years until 2019, then it got retargeted to Rikki (name). Looking at pageviews and article content, it's clear there's no primary topic for the term, so Rikki (name) (which is really only a disambiguation page) should be moved to the base title. Bagumba suggests splitting into a core dab page and a given name index: in principle, this is needed either when both resultant pages would be relatively long (so that long lists of people don't impede the navigation from the dab page), or when the name index is an actual article with encyclopedic content about the name. Neither of these conditions are met here; readers won't be served well if they're presented initially with just two of the entries and they have to click through to another page to see the rest. – Uanfala (talk) 20:02, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
• Support, obvious primary topic. By far the most of the entries are about people named Rikki, and quite many of the "see also" entries use altogether different spellings. By the way, "rikki" means both "sulphur" and "broken" in Finnish, but this is just an interesting mention here, and has no bearing on the move discussion. JIP | Talk 01:36, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
