Tarantino → Tarantino (surname) – the primary topic for Tarantino is Quentin Tarantino, and it should redirect to his page. Anyone saying "Tarantino" almost undoubtedly means QT, and the name is frequently used with no qualification and is immediately recognizable as referring to him. Note that when The Hateful Eight came out, pageviews for "Tarantino" skyrocketed, and continued to stay highly for quite a while as award buzz picked up. So, yes, people are searching just "Tarantino" to find Quentin's article. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 04:46, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this inappropriate primarytopic grab. The article Quentin Tarantino already has an ideal title, and has no need of this grab. Dicklyon (talk) 05:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support this is a convincing case, he's in the same league as Scorsese for sure. And really I just get sad when disambiguation pages get high views when readers are clearly only looking for one topic there - as the nominator notes this happened to the "Tarantino" page very recently - so yeah throw readers a bone here.

Oppose All the major search engines return Wikipedias article on Quentin in the top 2 results for a "Tarantino" search (and Quentin is always the #1 result). The current setup doesn't create a barrier to people searching for the article on Quentin. Keeping Tarantino as dab page helps to ensure that incoming links intending Quentin or anybody else get sent to the right page. Plantdrew (talk) 06:05, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I am annoyed that Quentin is given no prominence on this disambiguation page, forcing readers to comb through articles they don't want to read to get to it. A redirect is the best choice here. MelanieLamont (talk) 06:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
