Broadmoor → Broadmoor (disambiguation) – To free up Broadmoor to become a primary redirect to Broadmoor Hospital per the principle of least astonishment. I came across this because I typed "Broadmoor" into the search bar, expecting to get to the article about the hospital, but got to the disambiguation page. I did some more research and a massviews analysis shows that 78% of the views of all the linked articles on the disambiguation page go to the hospital, with 763 / day compared to the runner up's 122 / day. Put another way, the others thirteen articles combined receive 215 / day. Page views aren't everything, but they are indicative of primacy, and searching "Broadmoor" in other search engines rarely brings up anything other than the hospital.

Difficult to tell since while the hospital is often abbreviated as "Broadmoor" (which is what I'd think of when "Broadmoor" is mentioned) its not clear how often readers in the encyclopedia would use just "Broadmoor". It worth noting however that the 2nd most viewed one is The Broadmoor of which its also not clear how often that's called just "Broadmoor" given that it uses just "Broadmoor" in the infobox.

Support per nom. The most famous mental hospital in the UK, almost always simply referred to as Broadmoor. None of the other topics come close to its notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:20, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
