I Used to Be Funny (film)I Used to Be Funny – I had to create the film at a disambiguated title due to the preexistence of the same title as a redirect to List of Johnny Bravo episodes; however, it is not at all clear that a 26-year old individual episode of a TV series, which only has a redirect to an episode list rather than a standalone article about the episode and absolutely no inbound links from other articles actually using it at all, should retain WP:PRIMARYTOPIC rights over a theatrical feature film in current release.

Note: redirects are ineligible to be current titles in move requests, so "I Used to Be Funny → I Used to Be Funny (Johnny Bravo)" had to be removed from this request to meet that requirement. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 18:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
What about a disambig page? I don't really think either of these stands out as a primary topic. Sure it's a feature film but not one with a wide release, it seems. WPscatter t/c 06:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Support. The Johnny Bravo episode doesn't have a standalone article, and I can't discern any reason it would merit a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Thus, the film has a strong case for being the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, in my view. I personally don't believe a DAB page is necessary unless this discussion results in the film not being found primary.
