ABC islands (Leeward Antilles) → ABC islands
~~ABC islands → dab page to be deleted after move~~ please do not literally request a move to an obviously bad red-link title – wbm1058 (talk) 12:22, 25 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
- ABC islands → ABC islands (disambiguation) over redirect without leaving a redirect (implied), then WP:G14 delete if unnecessary (this is how my bot would have handled this, if the second move had been omitted) – wbm1058 (talk) 12:22, 25 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

– Clear PTOPIC over the obscure Alaskan chain: toolforge:wikinav/?language=en&title=ABC_islands shows roughly 90% of outgoing pageviews going to the Leeward Antilles, while pageviews shows that the the Leeward Antilles have consistently gotten far more views than the Alaskan chain. charlotte ^👸♥ 06:45, 13 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Support. The stats cited are corroborated by the content: population of the islands, development of the articles, etc. These ABC islands are clearly primary. Mgnbar (talk) 11:58, 13 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Recent pageviews also indicate that almost everyone landing on the ABC islands dab page is looking for this article. All we need is a hatnote on this article pointing to the Alaskan article. No dab page necessary per WP:ONEOTHER. - Station1 (talk) 12:20, 13 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
