Talk:ECB

Requested move 1 June 2025

Template:Category handler Template:Tmbox

ECB → Template:No redirect – European Central Bank is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the acronym "ECB". Although there's some spike from England and Wales Cricket Board, it does not influence the status of EU central bank as a primary redirect due to its long time significance.

• Oppose There is indeed ambiguity with England and Wales Cricket Board. No primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 18:06, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support unless if anyone know about the cricket world, "ECB" primarily means the "Eurozone central bank". So, i guess we can retarget "ECB" to central bank article. 182.1.231.158 (talk) 08:15, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support primary topic based on page views and WikiNav/clickstream. Adumbrativus (talk) 03:00, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per 162 etc. Pageviews for the bank exceed the cricket board but not to a degree that indicates this is the overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And the bank was formed in 1999, the cricket board in 1997, so again no obvious difference in long-term significance. Tassedethe (talk) 21:39, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
• Supoort per Google Ngrams. The longetivity of the cricket board (founded in 1997) and central bank (founded in 1999) does not influence a factor that the central bank is a primary topic. Additionally, for cricket world, "ECB" may be refer to cricket board, but for general audience, the same acronym refers to European Central Bank. 2001:448A:10E4:30D5:B8D6:D5BD:58AC:60A (talk) 00:46, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support – Adumbrativus's WikiNav evidence is conclusive. 70% of readers go from ECB to the European Central Bank, while only 15% go from ECB to the Cricket Board. A similar proportion go to Block cipher mode of operation. This shows that the Central Bank is the clear primary topic readers are looking for. Toadspike [Talk] 07:48, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support because overall, people might want to know about such a politically and economically important entity more than sports, let alone a board (and per Toadspike) EricXXue (talk) 21:16, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
• Support - considering a regional cricket organization equal to one of the most important banks to ever exist, just because the organization is from Britain, is the most Wikipedia thing to have ever happened. If this were a regional sports organization from Romania or Thailand or Colombia, a disambiguation page wouldn't even have been considered. Red Slash 04:59, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
