– I do not believe that the surname is the primary topic for "Schott". Quite possibly Schott AG is the primary topic, but for now let us decide that no primary topic exists. A reader following up a sentence like "The glass blanks were made by Schott in Jena" (from Potsdam Great Refractor) should not be taken first to a surname page and then have to follow a link to a dab page to find their destination of Schott AG. If other editors think the glass company is the primary topic, I'd be happy to go along with that. (And I'm about to make a link from that quoted sentence, so the reader will be able to get straight to their target from now onwards). Pam D  20:47, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Support Current state is begging for mistargeted wikilinks (at time of writing 6 of the 7 mainspace links to Schott were incorrect). Colin M (talk) 00:04, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support the company gets 2,004 views compared to 130 for the surname although the company may be known sometimes by its full name it seems that there's no clear primary topic.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:08, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
