Requested move edit

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Apteva's usage stats seem to make it pretty clear that this is not the primary topic. A disambiguation page as proposed seems appropriate. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 18:20, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply


Grimm TalesGrimm Tales (play) – to make way for a disambiguation page, for the four possible uses of the term (currently in the hatnote, plus this article), since the album article is much more substantial than this unreferenced article, and that the original Tales themselves are a likely target.

How do you arrive at that conclusion? If you subtract 1382 from 1269, you'd get a negative result for this article. Clearly it is normal to think that people accessing the disambiguated page forms would travel through the undisambiguated title, so the album would take a portion (likely a large portion) of the results that have been assigned to this page. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Addendum, those kind of usage stats usually are used to make disambiguation primary, or replace the current article with a different article as primary, since they show that this play isn't the primary topic according to usage. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 06:37, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment according to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC those usage stats means that the play is not the primary topic, and is therefore misnamed, since a different topic is more likely. -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 06:27, 17 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
