I propose to move this page to PDA (disambiguation) and redirect PDA to Personal digital assistant, considering that PDA is most commonly associated with Personal digital assistants, and no other thing/organization/etc. is nearly as well known by that acronym. --Conti|✉ 19:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Surely, almost everyone accessing this page is looking for Personal digital assistant. This should be a redirect, not a dab. Wilhelm meis (talk) 02:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PDA (disambiguation) → PDA — I am requesting this be moved to PDA, as there are several common uses of the acronym 'PDA' and that the disambiguation page should be there. Macr86 (talk) 23:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose aside from Personal Digital Assistant, what else is very common? 65.93.14.196 (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Public Display of Affection, but it's still nowhere near Personal Digital Assistant in my book.
Oppose, I think Personal digital assistant is still the primary topic, though talk to me again in 10 years. Powers ^T 18:31, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PDA (disambiguation) → PDA – I don't see a primary topic by either criteria. Personal digital assistant gets 11,768 views[[2]] but Pathological demand avoidance gets 10,043, Patent ductus arteriosus gets 9,601, Pushdown automaton gets 8,075, Public display of affection gets 7,905, Party of Democratic Action gets 4,814, Alternative Democratic Pole gets 2,402 and PDA (The Office) gets 1,045 and there are more than just those[[3]]. Given that PDA (The Office) gets over 10% of the views of Personal digital assistant its quite possible readers typing this term are more likely looking for The Office than Personal digital assistant since "PDA" is the name of that entity while its an acronym of the latter. The views also show that PDA gets 585 views and Pda gets 217 views but PDA (disambiguation) got 913 views and the DAB is only linked from the current primary topic and PD AeroSpace so it seems likely most readers are not landing where they want. Most Google results are for Pathological demand avoidance but none are for Personal digital assistant. Images mainly returns devices so it does seem like Personal digital assistant is primary there but Books appears to show more results for Pathological demand avoidance but none for Personal digital assistant. In the last RM it was noted to ask me in 10 years and now its been over 10 years. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:20, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
