Follow → Follow (album)
Follow (disambiguation) → Follow

– From a search, it seems obvious to me that there is not a primary topic. From my Google search, it appears the Twitter/social media definition is the most common, or at the very least the word itself (linked from the Wiktionary box) is more common than the album. The disambiguation page should be at the base title for these reasons. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:30, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Looking at the disambiguation page, there are only two topics called "Follow" that have articles: this one and Follow (dancer). Follow (Twitter) is a redlink, and the others are non-notable songs. For WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, we look only to encyclopedic usage, so the word in itself is not a factor. We can add a link to wiktionary at the album article, which would actually be as helpful to people interested in the dictionary definition as having it at the dab page. Add it all up, and the album, as obscure as it might be, seems to be the primarytopic. Dohn joe (talk) 14:59, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Looking at the various criteria set out at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC I don't think we can say that the album passes the test; in particular, WP:ONEBLUELINKDAB states that an article does not automatically become the primary topic when there is only one existing article by that name, and I think that applies here. The album does not recieve a significant amount of page views, and can we really say that the majority of our readers who search for "follow" are looking for an obscure Chinese pop album?

Support per PC78. Dohn joe's argument notwithstanding, I find the album way too obscure to occupy the primary spot. No such user (talk) 09:31, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Despite an article not (yet) existing on the concept of 'following' on social media, I would imagine that is almost always the desired topic for readers who search for "Follow". Until such an article exists, Follow should be a disambiguation page. Chase (talk | contributions) 21:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
