User:Andrewa/P T examples and scenarios

This is a place to give examples and scenarios supporting User:Andrewa/Primary Topic RfC, so as not to clutter that page.

Promising examples should be first raised and discussed on its talk page... please do.

Examples are still being gathered, but seem so far to support my basic contention:


 * Having an article at an ambiguous name is always a hindrance to those who want a different article that could go by that name.


 * Having an article at an ambiguous name can be a hindrance to those who want that article. (This is the strongly counterintuitive bit.)


 * Having an article at an ambiguous name is very rarely helpful to anyone. (This seems to be controversial but shouldn't be. It does depend on how you seek the article, hence the rarely. But the practices that benefit from P T are rather peculiar, hence the very rarely.)
