The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. Per the conversation in this discussion, no participants, including myself, agree with the original proposal in its entirety. A new related move proposal has been opened at Talk:Small Fry (song). Steel1943 (talk) 02:07, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

– The film seems like the obvious primary topic considering that the film article receives more than 35 times the amount of page views as the song article on average. Steel1943 (talk) 22:13, 5 June 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 20:54, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Small Fry (film) → Small Fry
 * Small Fry → Small Fry (song)
 * Nominator comment: Given the progression of this discussion, the better option would probably be to move Small Fry (disambiguation) to Small Fry. Steel1943  (talk) 23:21, 12 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: But is the film actually called Small Fry or is it actually Toy Story Toons: Small Fry. Looking at the article it seems to be the latter. PC78 (talk) 11:40, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but even if that was true, and Small Fry (film) were to be moved to Toy Story Toons: Small Fry instead, Small Fry should then be set up as a redirect to Toy Story Toons: Small Fry per my WP:PRIMARYTOPIC claim above. Steel1943  (talk) 12:47, 6 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Relisting comment: IMO a move should never be proposed let alone performed purely based on page view statistics. Page views suggest a primary meaning, but we need to consider other evidence before making any decision. See the problem with page views (and contributions on its talk page very welcome).

 * Okay, then I'll add that the film is probably more notable due to its connection to Toy Story, a widely known film franchise. Either way, the current situation seems like a WP:SURPRISE and probably needs to be remedied with at least the creation of a disambiguation page. Steel1943  (talk) 21:00, 12 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Support moving the song to Small Fry (song), but create a dab page at Small Fry. We have three articles (film, song & album) plus a few more similar terms, so that would seem to be the best solution. PC78 (talk) 21:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Small Fry (album) doesn't exist. Where is the album subject mentioned on Wikipedia? Steel1943  (talk) 21:59, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Small Fry (Bing Crosby album), which should probably be moved to Small Fry (album). PC78 (talk) 22:02, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome. Moving it doesn't seem controversial given the situation, so I'll go for it myself. Steel1943  (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * To me, "Small Fry" standing alone means "small fry" means small fishes, or derived metaphorical meanings. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:08, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Anthony - The moment I saw the RM I thought of the fishes so I assume moving this would only confuse those who are perhaps wanting to view the fishes article, Tanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 23:46, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

 * I'd just like to add that I would support the alternative proposal put by nom above. Move the DAB to the undisambiguated name Small Fry, and disambiguate the song. Andrewa (talk) 02:13, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
