Smiths (disambiguation) → Smiths — Listen, I like the Smiths, too, but Smiths should be a disambiguation page. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 22:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator, plus: Smiths Group is a major industrial concern, as is Smiths Aerospace, and the other usages are notable as well. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 22:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Anytime there are other major items that share a name, we should err on the side of disambiguation because there is no gurantee that the majority of user searching for the term are going to be looking for the band. I can easily see my teenage son or his friends being more likely to look for the brad pitt & angelina jolie characters in searching for "The Smiths" then the rock band. Not to mention the other valid search options that the nominator has mentioned. 205.157.110.11 00:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clearly the grocery chain is the primary use for many. However given the number of significant uses, it is reasonable to have the dab page at the main names space. Vegaswikian 22:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support, too many common uses. PC78 22:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
