Wisden → Wisden (disambiguation) – Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is undoubtedly WP:PTOPIC to anyone who follows cricket. Wisden should redirect there, and that page should point to the DAB page through an other uses hatnote Narky Blert (talk) 11:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Note. Turning the redirect into a DAB page broke 1165 links. Narky Blert (talk) 11:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Robert wisden is less well-known and people are not generally not known solely by their last name; the remaining are all related to the almanack but the almanack is by far the most known. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:36, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support returning to the status quo ante. On |Wisden_Cricketers%27_Almanack|John_Wisden|Robert_Wisden|Wisden_Group|Wisden_Trophy pageviews it looks marginal, but I doubt that many readers seeking Robert Wisden will have typed in simply "Wisden". Also, today's undiscussed change is incomplete: see WP:FIXDABLINKS. Certes (talk) 11:43, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure is evidently half-way through the (enormous) job. It isn't clear from those page views that "Wisden" on its own means the Almanac. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:21, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and it'll fix 1000 broken links by doing this. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:26, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support as per NB.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:22, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support obvious case of Prime. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 18:09, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - Wisden Cricketer's Almanack' is almost always referred to simply as Wisden. JH (talk page) 18:31, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - Regarding page views, most of the Wisdens can effectively be discounted for this purpose as they are "spinoffs" from the Almanack. To a cricket person, even if they are familiar with John Wisden as an individual, an unqualified reference to "Wisden" would be assumed to mean the Almanack, not him. Robert Wisden is not famous enough that anyone would be likely to assume a search for Wisden alone would lead to him, so even if he had similar page views – which he doesn't – I would still say the Almanack is the primary topic for the word Wisden alone.

 * Comment, Couldn't have put it better myself. Narky Blert (talk) 23:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support – the almanack and its associated cricket activities are patently the prime topic here. Johnlp (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - almanack is Primary Topic; John Wisden is most notable for founding it. Spike &#39;em (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Wisden Brand
Wisden brand is too big and diverse today. The John Wisden and Co(owned by Bloomsbury now) are owner of Wisden alamanck. But there is also Wisden India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka owned by FW SPORTS AND MEDIA INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED. Do we need a better way to diffrentiate them?
