Primary topic?[edit]

If broken record is taken as distinct from Broken Record, is the primary topic for the lowercase form the generic idea of a vinyl record with a scratch that causes it to repeat? bd2412 T 18:24, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Broken recordBroken RecordWP:CAPITALIZATION favors considering the difference in capitalization when determining whether a term is ambiguous. I propose that the lowercase Broken record has a primary topic at Gramophone record#Vinyl (the assertiveness technique is named for this, and I think that readers looking for world records that happen to have been broken are still more likely to look up World record, or Record breaking, which redirects there). The rest of the titles on the page are all Broken Record. I would move the disambiguation page to the capitalized title, and redirect the lowercase to Gramophone record#Vinyl, where I have recently added a citation for the origin of the phrase, "broken record". bd2412 T 14:25, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
