Anonymous → Anonymous (disambiguation) — Anonymous (group) is ranked 1st in a google search:anonymous, Anonymous (group) significantly more traffic, and the strong correlation between page views of Anonymous and Anonymous (Group) suggests most people are searching for anonymous group.

- Uhhhh....no. — AjaxSmack 22:57, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Could I get a rationale for the oppose?Smallman12q (talk) 23:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- OK, If I hafta. Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:RECENTISM/WP:BIAS. No evidence that the "group", with its limited temporal and spatial relevance is the primary topic. Anonymity and the slough of other entries at Anonymous are together more important encyclopedically. — AjaxSmack 00:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose; if anything, Anonymous should redirect to Anonymity, but the disambiguation page is fine too. Powers T 00:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- strong oppose "Anonymous" is an English word, used as a penname, used as many different group names, including the group you mentioned. WP:RECENTISM, WP:Systematic bias - Internet bias; 4chan is not the world, despite messing up Time Magazine's poll. 76.66.198.128 (talk) 03:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per AjaxSmack. — Amakuru (talk) 07:26, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. The DAB should stay where it is. However, agree the current disambiguator is misleading and should be changed... most readers would assume it's a band name. Interesting article, BTW, but has many other issues. Andrewa (talk) 12:05, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. A prime example of why we shouldn't use Google and/or page traffic as the basis for a page move. PC78 (talk) 21:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Keep the pages where they are. If anything, agree with LtPowers (talk · contribs). -- Cirt (talk) 21:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose; obvious recentism. I specifically also agree with LtPowers about what the situation should be. — Gavia immer (talk) 00:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Anonymous → Anonymous (disambiguation) – We have two options here:
- Option 1 Move this disambiguation page to 'Anonymous (disambiguation)' and then retarget 'anonymous' to 'anonymity' per WP:RPRIMARY because that's considered to be the primary topic with that term with 4,681 pageviews, because the other use of the term 'anonymity', 'symmetry (social choice)', with only 56 pageviews, isn't considered to be well known outside of economics and social choice, or
- Option 2 Leave the article title as it is, because 'Anonymous (hacker group)' has 37,457 pageviews, many more than the primary topic article 'anonymity'. PK2 (talk; contributions) 03:22, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
