DropboxDropbox (disambiguation) – If Dropbox is not a primary topic, this page should at least redirect to Dropbox (service) and the disambiguation be done on Dropbox (disambiguation), and a hatnote on the Dropbox (service) page should be added saying

"Dropbox" redirects here. For other uses, see Dropbox (disambiguation).

This will avoid searchers for the common file storage service from having to go through a disambiguation page to look for what they want to find. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 23:52, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Switching to support. Convinced by SnowFire. Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, but Move Dropbox (service) to Dropbox as well. Nominator failed to present an argument but they're still correct; Dropbox the band appears a total non-entity that should possibly be deleted (no 3rd party reviews currently), so Dropbox the service wins the relevance war by a mile, recentism or no, and is the primary topic. @Egsan Bacon: - if nom's lack of an argument didn't convince you, does my argument?

I wasn't thinking of the band when I wrote that - I agree that this Dropbox well outpaces that one. I was thinking of the thing that the founders of Dropbox were probably thinking of when naming their company, the night deposit box to leave something in when the bank/post office/library/etc is closed. Checking into it, though, it looks like that is mostly called a "drop box" over a "dropbox". I was going to suggest a hat note, but apparently we don't seem to have an article on night deposit boxes yet under any name I can find. Considering we have articled on some pretty basic things there doesn't seem to be much to say about (like bookend), I was legitimately surprised.

  • The website got 148,000 views in 90 days; the band and album only get 1800 and 600, respectively. Even Post box, which isn't necessarily competing for the primary topic named Dropbox, only gets 11,000. This is the overwhelming primary topic. I don't even think that an 8-year-old website is that recent. I don't see how anyone can suppose it will be gone anytime soon. kennethaw88talk 17:15, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
