- B&M → B&M Retail Limited
- B&M (disambiguation) → B&M
– Not sure that the retail company is the primary topic over the other uses of the abbreviation listed at the disambiguation page. Not sure what the best title should be for the retailer, B&M Retail is another option. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:07, 24 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Vestrian24Bio 02:31, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose, the current title I believe is a clear primary topic for the retailer. Of those listed on the DAB, only the ones related to "baked beans" have the abbreviation prominent in their title, while one is a former factory and the other only a redirect. The other DAB entries aren't known exclusively by the abbreviation. While pageviews aren't necessarily helpful here, it may be useful to point out that the DAB page views average 2-3 per day, indicating people browsing to B&M are not then subsequently browsing to the DAB in search of another article.
