Why isn't this the main truffle article?

(please discuss here)

Currently, Truffle is a disambiguation page and this article, on truffles, is Truffle (fungus). That seems strange. I think the history is that at some point, Truffle was moved to Tuber (the truffle genus), and Truffle became a dab page. I would think it would make more sense for Truffle to be the main article, and to have a Truffle (disambiguation) page. Maybe also a hatnote for chocolate truffles, if that's a common confusion. --Macrakis (talk) 16:27, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few stats in support of the proposal:

traffic: the Truffle (fungus) article has gotten >3x as many page hits as the Truffle page, and almost 6x as many as the Chocolate truffle page. (based on past 3 months at http://stats.grok.se/ -- removing outlier)
inlinks: 400 for fungus, 91 for dab, 87 for chocolate.
Web search: Google and Bing search give fungus as the #1 result for truffle.

Seems like all indicators show that the fungus article should be the main article. --Macrakis (talk) 16:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
