Datum → Datum (disambiguation) – And redirect Datum to Geodetic datum. The Geodetic meaning is the clear primary topic for this term, not a somewhat obscure topic in archaic and never-user English grammar. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 21:51, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Evidence? I see no reason to think most readers looking for the term "datum" are necessarily looking for one specialized use of the term as opposed to the relatively well-known singular of data. Usage statistics certainly don't appear to support the claim. older ≠ wiser 22:11, 12 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose singular of data is the main topic. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:06, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Yes, the singular of data is the main topic, and is the meaning for all three of the first entries, specific jaronistic uses of it in three different major fields. There is no reason whatsoever to consider the geodetic one primary any more than we'd consider neurological, oncological or dental use of the same medical term with different in-specialty application to be more primary than the others.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  01:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose the clear meaning is the singular of "data", meaning information, not the geodetic line. -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 05:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Kavala
The reference to Kavala or Datum should be explained further (Datum was an old settlement, which is believed to be situated at the ground of current Kavala, more info here: http://www.gtp.gr/LocInfo.asp?InfoId=49&Code=EGRRKV10KAVKAV00090&PrimeCode=EGRRKV10KAVKAV00090&Level=10&PrimeLevel=10), as there is no information about datum at the wikipedia page of Kavala. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.113.223.64 (talk) 16:45, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Datum → Datum (disambiguation) – And redirect Datum to Data. As remarked by everyone who commented in response to the previous RM discussion, there is a primary topic, so this should be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. It seems rather strange that the outcome of the previous request was "not moved", because the existence of a primary topic should have been an argument in favor of the proposed move, not against it. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:12, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
