Samish (disambiguation) → Samish – A few months ago, Samish people was moved from the title Samish, with the move rationale suggesting there be a DAB at the base name Samish. It looks like that was never followed through with, but there is a DAB page here, so I'm starting a requested move to see where the community stands.

 * It is curious that the hatnote doesn't even appear in https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Samish_people and the graphs don't render anything at all for the disambiguation page itself. There's a weirdness with counting incoming views but whether it's 302 or 425 it just doesn't seem like any appreciable amount of people are clicking the hatnote. I suppose we could give it a go still, given that https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-90&pages=Samish_people|Samish_River|Samish_Island,_Washington|Samish_(disambiguation)|Samish_dialect shows basically the same numbers, and then check if the change led to better navigation outcomes later. --Joy (talk) 10:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. I didn't move the DAB myself then because I wasn't exactly sure on the procedure. I also agree with Joy, if it doesn't do anything we can just remove it. PersusjCP (talk) 17:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Retain a primary redirect to the people. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination, PersusjCP and elements of comment by Joy. Standard form of some Wikipedia headers — British, Irish, French are disambiguation pages, while British people, Irish people or French people delineate the national and ethnic groups. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:CONSISTENT, for consistency with similar articles pointed out by Roman Spinner. Rreagan007 (talk) 01:57, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
