I restored the redirect to Adenosine triphosphate. Not only does it not make sense for x to redirect to x (disambiguation), if someone wishes to change this redirect, he should also change the many articles which link to ATP expecting Adenosine triphosphate. — Knowledge Seeker দ 20:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

There is no way this deserves primary meaning status. It is a technical term known only to scientists. The links will all be fixed over time. Piccadilly 11:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

The tennis usage is almost certainly the best known among the general population. Scranchuse 19:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, every high school biology student in the world learns at least what ATP is used for, and its importance in the body. I also disagree with the fact that the tennis term is the better known, although obviously neither claim can be proven. I think ATP is an important enough molecule, and that it is used in common vernacular enough to deserve primary meaning. Seeing as how two in a row don't agree though, I won't change it for now, at least until we get some more who agree with making adenosine triphosphate the primary.

I agree with D-rew. ATP is tought in highschools worldwide, it is as basic as DNA. Tennis has much less fans compared to football, basketball, hockey etc. So unlike NFL, NBA or NHL, the ATP makes much less people to think about the sport related to it. And when thinking of tennis, Australian Open, Wimbledon or U.S. Open is more associated to it than ATP. Timur lenk 20:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with D-rew. ATP is one of the more fundamental things that any student will learn about in secondary school. Honestly, I'd never heard about the tennis association until now. Considering how the popularity of tennis is very regional compared to the worldwide nature of adenosine triphosphate I think this page should direct to adenosine triphosphate. --Tunheim 11:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
