– With dozens of meanings acknowledged for the term "Swift" or "SWIFT", it seems to me that the bird family does not meet our criteria for primary topic. Its usage is not much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined
, and does not appear to have substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term

- Support Swift (programming language) gets more views (20,611) than the bird (6,855) and Taylor Swift gets 624,501 and Jonathan Swift gets 30,342[[1]] though these are both PTMs. Google appears to return mainly the programming language though the Wikipedia article for the bird does come up, Images only returns the car and Books seems to be split.

- Support per nom. Even the SWIFT used in banking has more pageviews than the bird. It seems right for the disambiguation page to be used instead of the bird. — Saadrafiq4 (talk) 11:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support - While the bird is probably the most likely context for the term to be used in without further clarification, it doesn't seem to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 16:24, 21 March 2021 (UTC) Edit - Agree that "Swift (bird)" is preferable to the proposed title. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 00:18, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support 1st, move 2nd to Swift (bird) for WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT because there are ample examples of the (bird) disambiguation but none using (bird family). -- Netoholic @ 18:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with this, the main issue though is no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:49, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support 1st, move 2nd to Swift (bird) per WP:CONSISTENT (as mentioned above by Netoholic). Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:22, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support, but use Swift (bird). -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:19, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
