The Great EscapeGreat Escape – per WP:DABNAME — "The simplest form of the term is preferred... and Shadow (disambiguation) is preferred to The Shadow (disambiguation), thus suggesting that The Great Escape should redirect to Great Escape instead of the other way, as it currently does. — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 00:42, 2 May 2021 (UTC) Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 03:53, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Support. Starting an article title with "The" is generally discouraged. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:22, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. There are more entries on the disambiguation page with "The" than without. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:11, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nominator. This is a disambiguation page, the only thing the entries have in common is the name. So the title should be as basic as possible. JIP | Talk 20:18, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support I think the rule that we avoid articles in DAB pages is more important than the rule of matching the majority of entries since all entries can be applicable to the simpler term while only those that use the article are applicable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
