Adding "CDC: Cloud Data Center"
I add the following discussion to prevent a "revert war" on this page!

Unfortunately "GB fan" insists on inhibiting my new entry "CDC: Cloud Data Center" due to its red link. As it could be seen in history, [s]he asserts that: "All entries on disambiguation pages must include a blue link where someone can find information no red link only entries". But I think: "Adding Red Links is a motivator for completing the article/page. It's better to help to create new article about Cloud Data Centers instead of removing the new entry".

On the other hand, on the 1st paragraph of page Red link we see: "It is useful while editing articles to add a red link to indicate that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable. A study conducted in 2008 showed that red links helped Wikipedia grow.[1] Follow-up work on this indicated that the creation of red links prevents new pages from being orphaned from the start.[2]"

 * @Mjdtjm: Views have evolved over the past decade. It's generally preferred to have the article in place before adding the title to disambiguation pages. See WP:Write the article first. —C.Fred (talk) 13:53, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The manual of style for diambiguation pages, MOS:DAB, states that every entry must have exactly one blue link and that article must provide information about what we are diambiguating, in this case CDC. I have searched to find an article that we can link to that discusses cloud data centers but have come up empty. If there is a page that discusses them that I have not found then we can create an entry but until we do or someone creates an article it does not belong on this page. ~ GB fan 21:43, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Move & rename
(US Fed'l) "Ctrs for Dis Ctrl" (primary topic) should be target of Rdr CDC, and should in turn have a Rdr'n hatnote to the accompanying "(Dab'n)"-suffixed prcd'g Dab page. (Check to see if this existing talk pg might need to be broken up, or just renamed in A different direction from the accompanying main-namespace page: if you can open several windows on the same screen, you can easily work this out better than my addled senior brain and single-window iPad II can.)

CDC → CDC (disambiguation) – CDC should redirect to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is the primary topic. Ninety-one percent of outgoing page views are for the U.S. federal agency. See also: WHO. Schierbecker (talk) 03:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:56, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that 91% is only the upper bound for the actual figure (the reasoning is explained at the RM for ATF). About 1,200 of the visitors to the dab page followed the link to the Centres for Disease Control, but you need to also take into account that the dab page received during the same period a total of almost 2,700 visits . – Uanfala (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. I doubt any of the other uses, and even all of them combined, compare in page views. Ping me with evidence to the contrary if I’m wrong. —В²C ☎ 20:20, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Even as British person I would say this was the primary redirect for CDC. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:52, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
