Private life (lowercase "l") is an extremely common term and it does not appear that the 40-year-old song (with the uppercase "L") would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of either private life (which redirects to private sphere) or Private Life. Since the disambiguation page entries (with the exception of the redirect to private sphere) use uppercase "L", the dab page main title header could remain with the uppercase "L" or consensus could skew towards using Private life as the dab page header, with its top entry pointing towards Private sphere. — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 23:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support can't be bothered to do a page view check, but clearly even by the 2018 film there's no Primary here. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:18, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support first. Private Life (2018 film) is the clear primary topic for anything called Private Life or private sphere[1] and should be moved to the plain title. Station1 (talk) 08:52, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as proposed, no clear primary topic for the upper case so its probably best to disambiguate, the views for the 2018 film might be recentism. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:34, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the first. Move the film to the base name: there is a clear primary topic here by page views: page views. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:51, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anachronism between wiki pages[edit]

The page on the Pretenders album (that contains the original Private Life song) lists the release date as December 27, 1979 not January 19, 1980 (as in the page on the song itself). Jones's cover was released June 27,1980 - so that can't be the source of confusion. I have a feeling the December and January dates may be for different countries, but shouldn't the first take priority as no countries are mentioned? Wokepedian (talk) 13:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
