The Japanese rapper is much more notable than the disambig page, which is just several dictionary definitions and a description of a character from a film. Prosperosity (talk) 12:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC) This was an uncontroversial request that I thought was actually controversial enough to warrant discussion. Dpmuk (talk) 16:01, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose move - You may think that the Japanese rapper is more notable than any other use of the word "verbal," but I don't, and even if you are correct, that does not make the rapper's name the primary usage of the word "verbal." "Verbal" is primarily an English-language word. Even though Wikipedia is not a dictionary, a user looking for the meaning of this word should not have to wade through a webpage about the rapper to find a link to Wiktionary. --Orlady (talk) 22:36, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is fairly standard practice in Wikipedia, however, when the subject is much more notable than its compatriots. 10 Years is about a band, not a period of time, 13th Street is about a TV network, not all the possible streets with this name, and Juju is about the type of voodoo, not the myriad of other things it could possibly be. --Prosperosity (talk) 02:00, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The issue in Wikipedia is whether a particular article's subject is the primary topic for the name. Even without the uppercase "Y", the generic meaning of "10 Years" (i.e., a decade) is not a topic about which a reasonable person would expect to find an encyclopedia article (or a dictionary definition), so there's no reason not to treat the band as the primary topic. Although "13th Street" is the proper name of a number of streets, none of those streets is especially notable, so it is reasonable to include that the use of this term as the name of a TV network is a primary topic. As for "Juju," I would argue that the voodoo term (which may have inspired some of the other uses of "Juju") is the primary topic for the very same types of reasons that the name of a Japanese rapper is not the primary topic for "Verbal". --Orlady (talk) 15:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Your reasoning for 13th Street should apply for this page, shouldn't it? None of the pages listed currently at Verbal are especially notable, even notable enough to receive their own articles. The rapper, however, has had two #1 albums and is one of the most prominent Zainichi Koreans in Japan. --Prosperosity (talk) 06:05, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
