Who played Salvatore?

The lead says Basil Sydney, the body says Kieron Moore. DuncanHill (talk) 19:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

OK, as I was typing that the credits came up on telly, it was Kieron Moore. DuncanHill (talk) 19:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Meh, the lead gives the cast of the play, not the film! DuncanHill (talk) 19:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 12 August 2020

The following is a closed 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Clearly no consensus especially considering the novelty of two of the three relevant articles. The nom’s argument about none having a “significant” number of page views is discounted due to lack of basis in policy. (non-admin closure) В²C ☎ 23:56, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

A Man About the House → A Man About the House (film) – Besides the film there are two more articles with the same name, A Man About the House (novel) and A Man About the House (play). Neither of the three has a significant number of pageviews to justify being regarded as primary topic. Inwind (talk) 06:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• Support per nomination {WP:NOPRIMARY} as well as A Man About the House (disambiguation) → A Man About the House and, if consensus were to skew towards greater specificity, would also support A Man About the House (film) → A Man About the House (1947 film) as well as Man About the House (film) → Man About the House (1974 film). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 12:24, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose for now, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The novel and play articles are both only two days old, so have no track record of pageviews. The film averages 30 views per day this year. I'm not even sure the play and novel are notable outside the context of the film; they could be merged here to form a WP:BROADCONCEPT article. But if not, this should be revisited in 2 or 3 months once the new articles have a track record. Station1 (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
• Comment the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is the sitcom Man About the House. I guess that a fair number users arrive at A Man About the House by mistake. I therefore like the suggestion by Roman Spinner, to have a single disambiguation page.Inwind (talk) 04:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

  There's no reason to believe a majority of readers arrive at this article by mistake. There's already a hatnote on the article for the minority, which is just as good for them as a dab page. Station1 (talk) 07:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose per Station1. The film was established as primary topic in 2017,and there is nothing to suggest the novel or play surpass it, with those articles newly created this week. Early page views in the first few days still show more hits for this than the other two put together. "Man about the House" may be more notable, but the title is different and it's a good example of WP:SMALLDETAILS, such that we don't need to include it in the primary topic consideration.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:02, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
