Woody → Woody (disambiguation) – I propose that we move this article, Woody, to Woody (disambiguation) so that we can make a redirect page to redirect Woody to Sheriff Woody Kaleeb18 (talk) 21:34, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose There are many other topics which would better suit the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of Woody over this character, but in either case I think this is best left as a disamb page. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 21:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose You have not made a convincing argument (or indeed any argument) to show that Sheriff Woody could be considered the primary topic. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 22:16, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I wasnt trying to make an argument i was just proposing something Kaleeb18 (talk) 02:07, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Don't worry, I meant argument as in supporting statements, not as in dispute. ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 02:19, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose. IMO, the main other topic that blocks this from being primary is Woody plant. And yes, the cartoon character gets around 4x as many daily pageviews, but the botanical concept is of much more fundamental, long-term, "encyclopedic" significance. One indicator of this is that it has around 3x as many incoming wikilinks (not counting links from navboxes or other templates). Colin M (talk) 22:20, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose and speedy close. 162 etc. (talk) 00:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose move. The Toy Story character is not a clear primary topic. O.N.R. ^(talk) 06:29, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per what everyone else is saying. My question is why we are using "Sheriff Woody" instead of "Woody (Toy Story)"? I guess it could be because of "natural disambiguation", but I don't think I've ever actually encountered the term "Sheriff Woody". Which makes it seem very unnatural and like something we made up. --Khajidha (talk) 14:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
