Primary topic or not edit

Just realised that my moving of Transport for Wales to Transport for Wales (government agency) may have been a bit controversial, having been previously done and then reverted. While the government agency is arguably the primary topic by being the parent of Transport for Wales Rail, in terms of articles linking doesn't appear to be; 250 vs 750 for the railway article.

In going through and updating the link, I came across quite a few pointing to the agency that should have been for the railway operator. While hatnotes are in place, they seemingly don't always have the desired effect. Hopefully by being flagged as a disambiguation page, this won't be an issue going forward. If anybody feels differently, am quite happy to go through the WP:RM process, but I can't move it back and can't really kick of an RM if I want to retain the status quo.

– Three accounts (suspected to be sockpuppets at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bx16) claimed that there is no primary topic, but this requires discussion. The moves by Bx16, Leadelape, and Emenhazer have been reverted by CambridgeBayWeather, Primefac, and Deb respectively. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 15:00, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oppose move - it's fine as it is. Deb (talk) 15:40, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose move - The train operators used the brand name given by the agency. Dank Jae 15:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose moves - there is only one 'Transport for Wales' which is therefore the primary topic, the others are/were operators using the TfW brand so they are best as disambiguated pages. Geof Sheppard (talk) 16:41, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per comments above. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 15 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, several of the articles I edited havd links to the government agency that should have bene pointing to the train operator, I doubt these were corrected back in the mass reverse. Somebody else can deal with it. Emenhazer (talk) 04:39, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
