- Oppose Although Brook (hydrology))is probably etymologically the basis for the surname and, directly or indirectly, most or all of the other uses, I don't think it will be searched for by more readers than all the other uses together which is the criterion for a Primary Topic. It might justify a "commonly refers to" listing at the top of the dab page. PamD 14:14, 20 May 2024 (UTC)]

- Further comment: I've moved the "stream" sense to be the top entry on the page. It's the root meaning of the word, but far from the Primary Topic. PamD 19:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:DPT, can you reflect on the meaning of e.g. https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Brook ? We see a lot of interest in the proposed primary topic, but also quite a nice spread of traffic otherwise, so I'd immediately say there isn't really one primary topic. Is there a risk of astonishing the average English reader by telling them that there's multiple terms known as "brook"? (Oppose primarily because there's no actual rationale in the proposal, just an assertion.) --Joy (talk) 08:19, 21 May 2024 (UTC)]
- Weak oppose per PamD, maybe Beck should also be reconsidered. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
