The Longing (video game) → The Longing
The Longing → The Longing (film)

– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The film article gets only roughly an average of 2 views a day, while the video game gets about 126 a day. Link here: [[1]] ‡ The Night Watch ω (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support 2nd (strongly) per nom; Neutral on 1st. Like, would it make sense for "The Longing" to redirect to the disambiguation page Longing? Not sure. All I know is, the 2002 German film is DEFINITELY not the primary topic for this title. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support so far nothing else pops up when doing a quick Google search. Safe to consider this the primary topic.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 04:52, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support: As stated above. This game is very clearly the primary topic for "The Longing." Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 16:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
