Television pilots
I had
removed three links to articles about pilot episodes. Prior to my removal, hey were a sublist under the
Television pilot list item. I noticed a user
reinsertedPilot (Prison Break episode) into the main list, which was then
reverted. I thought I'd bring this up on the talk page, as a reiteration of my edit summary when I removed the pilot episodes: this is a disambiguation page and pilot episodes are not appropriate for listing here. Individual television pilots fall under the scope of
Television pilot which in turn gets listed here.

I agree that the piloting in the navigation sense has the most long term significance. The problem I'm hitting is that I actually think the concept of an aircraft pilot is, in terms of usage and general expectations of the word, far more of the primary than the broader concept concept. And then after that I think people would largely be looking for the topics we agree have lesser long term significance, like TV pilots before the general concept. Few are actually looking for the page on the broader topic of piloting as a navigation concept, even if aircraft is a subtopic of that. So in terms of what is most useful to readers, I think having the current setup is probably best.--

Oppose. The
piloting article is rather sparsely viewed and doesn't contain much info relevant to, say,
aircraft pilot, which is viewed 13 times as much, so I wouldn't expect most people searching "pilot" want to see it. And while
television pilot might not have "long-term significance" in that sense, it beats
aircraft pilot and
maritime pilot in views handily. I think a DAB page is more appropriate than an article here.

Oppose.
Pageviews do not support claim based on usage. If anything, television pilot is primary based on usage, but because there are several other prominent uses a disambiguation page at the base name is best as that will help ensure incorrect links are fixed.
