– Roland TR-808 is probably closest to default meaning for 808, 40 times the views of the year. 808 (film)--which is about the drum machine, not the year--doubles views of the year. Page views. Hyperbolick (talk) 14:48, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- @JFG: you can bring the posse. Hyperbolick (talk) 14:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

- Support per nom. With the number's use in titles of other things, it's evident there's no clear primary topic (the pageviews of the surrounding years make that clear). Move disambiguation page to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 15:58, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. (I still stick to my view that although a year can be dislodged from being WP:PTOPIC (as here), nothing can replace it.) Narky Blert (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support. 18% of pageviews for "808 (something)" are for the year, and many of those may be accidental. The drum machine is known as "808" and has far more views and but we don't know how many come from searching simply "808". I see no primary topic, so would put the dab at the base name. Certes (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support, per nom and comments. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:05, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom, also searches (apart from Books) point to Rowland but indeed we don't know how often that would be searched with just "808" here. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:18, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support per similar cases. Besides, I'll set up a WP:DABTEST to check whether the Roland TR-808 should be elevated to primary topic. — JFG talk 17:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
DABTEST in place
[edit]To further assess whether Roland TR-808 should be elevated to primary topic, I have set up a WP:DABTEST via the TR-808 redirect. — JFG talk 17:38, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- A DABTEST should use a redirect that doesn't have any incoming links aside from the dab page. Otherwise, you're also picking up readers clicking through from other articles. I've changed the linked redirect to Roland-808. Plantdrew (talk) 18:03, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
