Gorilla Monsoon (wrestler) → Gorilla Monsoon — He is easily the primary meaning for the name (and was at the target page until about a month ago when a user moved it without discussing it). For over 35 years he was known as Gorilla Monsoon, as both a wrestler and a commentator and on-screen president of the WWF. Much more prominent than a German metal band, and far more than a fake show from improv group Picnicface Comedy (which doesn't even mention the fake show in their article). Put up a hatlink for those who might be looking for the band. —TJ Spyke 00:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support We've got Gorilla Monsoon, a band named after Gorilla Monsoon, and an element of a sketch by a comedy group whose own article is just barely not a stub. JPG-GR (talk) 02:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support I was looking for Gorilla Monsoon's page and was surprised at the disambiguation page. The above comment mentions how the comedy group article is pretty much pointless, I want to add that the article on the band is terribly written. I say rename the page back, and there can be a disambig link at the top. --Smart Mark Greene (talk) 02:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support. Band is named after the wrestler and still relatively obscure. As for a fictional show that appears only in a single YouTube video, it's borderline whether that information even qualifies as encyclopedic. So the wrestler is the primary meaning, for our purposes.

• Support Primary usage from what I can tell (And shouldn't it have been professional wrestler as the disamb, anyway?) Narson (talk) 14:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support per above. D.M.N. (talk) 16:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support. I am not a wrestling fan but this should be primary. Move current content of Gorilla Monsoon to Gorilla Monsoon (disambiguation) and put a note at the top of the wrestler page. Cross porpoises (talk) 19:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support per above, and (per the naming conventions) because Gorilla Monsoon the wrestler would be the primary topic recognized by English speakers compared to an obscure German band clearly named after him. --Chrysaor (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
