Wikipedians are hung up on the meaning of Madonna

Wikipedia editors have been engaged in a long-standing debate over the primary topic of the page titled "Madonna." The dispute revolves around whether the page should primarily focus on the singer Madonna or topics related to Mary, mother of Jesus, or serve as a disambiguation page for both. The term "Madonna" historically referred to Mary in Roman Catholic tradition but has become strongly associated with the singer Madonna Ciccone in modern times. Over the years, editors have discussed and argued for the singer's primary status based on factors such as page views and cultural relevance. Despite considerations of historical significance and educational value, the consensus has consistently favored the singer as the primary topic due to high current usage. The ongoing discussions have highlighted the challenges of balancing long-term significance with present-day relevance in determining Wikipedia's primary topics. Ultimately, the singer Madonna has been retained as the primary topic for the term "Madonna" based on the prevailing reader interest and search patterns.
