Change name to Paramount (disambig)[edit]

Now that ViacomCBS is renamed Paramount, this disambig should be renamed to "Paramount (disambig)" allowing the ViacomCBS article to be renamed Paramount. Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion re ViacomCBS has ended so the point is moot, but for the record this could not be treated as a separate matter from the overall discussion re the former ViacomCBS article. We would need to first establish consensus that these is a single WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Paramount" (and I do not agree at this point that either the former ViacomCBS or even Paramount Pictures is that). Only then would we have a need to move this to a title with a "(disambiguation)" qualifier - we can't "pave the way" (as you put it) ahead of that consensus.

Also, for future reference, the correct qualifier in such cases is (disambiguation), not (disambig) which is not a word (just WP editor shorthand). — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 16:34, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with Stickguy's point that We would need to first establish consensus that these is a single WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Paramount" (and I do not agree at this point that either the former ViacomCBS or even Paramount Pictures is that). If a primary topic does emerge for the term "Paramount", then we may consider a RM for this disambiguation page. Also yes, even if there is a primary topic for "Paramount", the correct title for this dab page would be "Paramount (disambiguation)". The term (disambig) neither is a word nor does it comply with the naming standard for dab pages. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:58, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
