Axios (website) → Axios – The website/news org is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC now. Currently the Axios link is just a redirect to the article for Vardar. The pageview statistics page shows that Axios (website) is the primary usage.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 18:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – The redirect Axios has 1,983 views/month and Axios (disambiguation) has 1,783 views/month, which to me indicates a significant number of readers looking for something else than the river. However, the significance of this three year old website is much more temporary. Not opposed to the disambiguation page occupying the base title again. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment It makes little sense that the current Axios page is a redirect. Additionally, the page Vardar has 93,196 views since 2015 and Axios (website) has 716,440, despite existing for less time. I think it Axios should to to Axios (website), or at the very least to the disambig.Eccekevin (talk) 22:09, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral regarding the proposed move and would not oppose it. However, taking into account the high number of views for Axios (website), I would strongly support the move Axios (disambiguation) → Axios. It would be instructive to glance at the 137 links currently flowing to the redirect Axios since it is clear that a large number of those are intended for Axios (website). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak supportThis is a tough one! Axios the news site seems to be almost certainly the intended target for readers searching this term. And while I would say the river certainly has more long term notability (enough to overcome that reader interest if they had the same commonly used English name), when looking at the river as it is called Axios that is less clear.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:32, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong support the move Axios (disambiguation) → Axios Eccekevin (talk) 23:12, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support this also.--Ortizesp (talk) 03:52, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral regarding the proposed move and would not oppose it. However, taking into account the high number of views for Axios (website), I would strongly support the move Axios (disambiguation) → Axios. (per Roman Spinner, above.) Onanoff (talk) 08:59, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose the second longest river of Greece is more notable than the website named after it. "A few miles east of Pella flows the Axios, draining much of the central Balkans." whereas Axios (website) is clearly a website. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:15, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The website is not named after the river, it's named after the Greek for "worthy". Also, there's no reason why a river should be more relevant than a website, it depends on the river and depends on the website. In this case, I would say that at least for the English Wikipedia, the website is currently more noteworthyEccekevin (talk) 08:42, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Move DAB to the base name per the above, no clear primary topic, by usage its the website, by long-term significance its the river, DAB is best compromise. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Move Axios (disambiguation) to the base page name, per User:Crouch, Swale and others above. There is no clear primary topic among the number of alternatives offered. BD2412 T 01:23, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: It seems that most people agree that instead of moving "Axios (website)" to "Axios", I should've requested "Axios (disambiguation)" to "Axios". Is there anything procedurewise that needs to be done? Or someway to move this discussion to Talk:Axios (disambiguation)? BD2412 I'm pinging you since you're an admin.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 02:21, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nothing special needs to be done. The closing administrator will be able to handle the altered consensus without difficulty. BD2412 T 02:24, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Per Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Moves of other pages a note on the DAB page is probably unnessesarry since the bot has already notified the current target of the redirect (the river). Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:06, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
