Talk:NYY

This should be a redirect
@Shhhnotsoloud, in your edit summary reverting my edit, you said "Abbreviations rarely have a primary topic, especially if the abbreviation isn't actually mentioned in the article". I feel like this is one of those rare cases. A Google search for "NYY" turns up at least 10 pages of the New York Yankees and New York Yankees-related results. Also, the other two pages' pageviews are dwarfed by the Yankees, by a factor of at most 500:1. In fact, I think the other two articles mentioned are so obscure that a disambiguation page isn't necessary, and a hatnote would suffice. Taking a look at the WikiNav statistics, Every single viewer (unless i'm reading the charts wrong) is looking for the New York Yankees. As such, I think this page should redirect to the New York Yankees. mwwv  converse ∫ edits  15:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks You should request a page move of NYY to NYY (disambiguation), with NYY then redirecting to New York Yankees (see WP:RM). In my opinion the case will not be strong if "NYY" isn't mentioned at New York Yankees but a requested move would ascertain consensus. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:28, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

NYY → NYY (disambiguation) – Per my thoughts that NYY should be a redirect above. mwwv  converse ∫ edits  13:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Support Even Google Scholar (when omitting quotation marks) shows there's a primary topic for this trigram. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 01:57, 4 July 2024 (UTC
 * Support, the other topics are not notable. In the other hand, the three letter code is widely used by the most valued and most recognized baseball team in the major leagues of the United States and Canada. 129.222.64.139 (talk) 04:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Abbreviations rarely have a primary topic, especially if the abbreviation isn't actually mentioned in the article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * There’s no WP:MANUALOFSTYLE guideline (or any guideline) that prevents an abbreviation to be the primary topic; in this case if policy doesn’t prevent the use of abbreviations but rather supports enduring usage and notability, it’s fair to act accordingly. 187.200.71.190 (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * But see MOS:DABACRO "Many pages serve primarily to disambiguate short letter combinations that can represent various acronyms and initialisms. When considering articles to include in the list, it is important that each individual entry is referred to by its respective abbreviation within its article" Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:28, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No primary redirect unless you're an American sports fan. Most other people wouldn't have a clue that the abbreviation was used for the team. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
