::::: If BOSS is what we're thinking of disambiguating this page from, in all honesty that's a little over the top.

Primary topic

I'm uncertain why this wouldn't be the primary topic considering there are no other characters named "the Boss" in the DWU? Especially as we're more than likely going to learn the identity of this character soon.

Soon as on the order of a few months, sure. But I think that's all the more reason to leave it named more precisely until then. We don't want to get into the habit of treating that as the actual name. Najawin 21:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
I do think this justifies a DAB, as BOSS is referenced as "the BOSS" in The Green Death. Just makes it a little easier to search for. We should also consider making the page name "The boss", as to not imply "Boss" is a proper noun.
Remember. DABs are not bad - they are good. The ongoing mission of many to avoid them at the cost of searchability doesn't serve a clear purpose - to avoid bad linkage this page should have a DAB. OS25🤙☎️ 21:26, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
It’s capitalised as "the Boss" in the subtitles. TheGreatGabester 21:35, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
