Also 'The Archers' an English BBC daily radio soap is I believe at 50+ years the longest running soap in the world which I have listened to since day one

message: I suggest this page move to Archer (disambiguation) and replaced here with a redirect to Archery with a hatnote pointing to the dab page.
As a separate suggestion, I plan to move the people with the surname to the Archer (surname).

The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is a consensus that the current title is the primary topic per the long-term significance criterion and the page is therefore not moved.   — Amakuru (talk) 11:06, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Archer (disambiguation) →  – Since the last RM closed, which established Archer as a redirect to Archery, Archer (2009 TV series) was created, and the TV series has consistently dwarfed the sport in pageviews, leading to a situation where there is presently NOPRIMARY.

replies: text: Well, I was just trying to avoid having to move the dab page back and forth and state my ultimate opinion. That said, I seem to be in the minority there and debate here is between whether archery is the primary topic or if there is no primary topic. But I agree with the "Support" votes here that archery is not the primary topic. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You've got to really twist your brain into a knot to figure that acknowledging the fact that archery has been significant to human civilization for thousands of years is an attempt to predict the future. -- Fyrael (talk) 18:40, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I confidently predict that within ten years when everyone hears the word "archer" they'll immediately think of a TV series and completely forget about the obscure blokes firing arrows even though they were a major part of warfare for thousands of years. Oh wait, no I don't, that would be a truly ludicrous prediction. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

text: Is there a comment from Ortizesp that I'm missing? There are two comments now citing this editor, but all I see from them is a 4-word "rationale" that seems to dismiss the entire process of figuring out if there's a primary topic in favor of just lazily going with disambiguation whenever a primary topic is challenged. -- Fyrael (talk) 16:26, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
