"the acronym EDM stands for Electronic Direct Mail" - https://www.digitalthing.com.au/what-are-edms-and-email-marketing-campaigns/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:A61:11A9:8901:6073:9B69:5B76:F7AB (talk) 08:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Agree. May be a term used more commonly in Australia (where I am also from).
I previously inserted the following line (under the Computers & Internet heading) but had it reverted due to lack of references:

  • 'Electronic Direct Mail', the sending of Direct Email(s), as part of Email Marketing

In addition to link provided by other contributor above, further web references to support this insert:

EDMEDM (disambiguation) – EDM needs to be redirected to electronic dance music per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. This is clearly the primary topic, just search on Google - every instance of EDM is about the genre. Flooded with them hundreds 17:55, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Inclined to oppose. Electric dipole moment and Electrical discharge machining are both major topics and get a significant proportion of page views apiece. —Xezbeth (talk) 19:32, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Edmonton is also frequently abbreviated as EDM in shorthand, especially in sports media. Electronic dance music should certainly be its own item at the top though at the very least. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:39, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose Per Xezbeth, some of the topics under the Science and technology section look like they have long-term significance. Early Day Motions also features in a Google search even though Electronic dance music appears to be most common. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose While I do associate EDM with the genre, I think there's enough doubt on what would be the primary topic for the term. The current setup makes it easier to spot incorrect incoming links too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:37, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. Google Search is a narrow, inaccurate, and often misinterpreted justification for primary topic status. -- Netoholic @ 20:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly oppose renaming the disambiguation page. We should use clear and complete name for the titles of specific articles.

  • Very weak oppose Other abbreviated topics are major enough as to prevent EDM from redirecting to Electronic Dance Music. But I echo what Patar knight says as Electronic Dance music should be at the top of the DAB page, especially in light of Electronic Dance Music's continuing growing popularity.

  • Oppose isn't obvious and nom doesn't address most likely or long-term per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Widefox; talk 16:20, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
