HQ → HQ (disambiguation) – Move the disambiguation page over the current WP:INTDAB link, and redirect HQ to Headquarters as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, because "Headquarters" is the primary topic for "HQ", the abbreviation "HQ" most commonly referring to "Headquarters" rather than any other entry on the page.

Support, seems quite right. Hyperbolick (talk) 04:32, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clear primary redirect. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Eh, I'm not quite sold on this one. I have to go through quite a few results on Google to get stuff that isn't HQ Trivia, which is indeed a highly-viewed article. Also, anecdotally, I'm conditioned through my employment to think HQ = high quality. Is there any evidence available that, on Wikipedia, people plugging in HQ want to see the headquarters page? Nohomersryan (talk) 09:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Massviews shows the game outstrips headquarters (no matter how the reader reaches headquarters). Nohomersryan's note is applicable. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:38, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per JHunterJ, note that I have updated the link to on the DAB, the massviews is since January but the game was moved as noted to the views are split which would show even more for it. Views[[1]] for the last 20 days show that Headquarters got 5,034 but HQ (video game) got 4,137 and HQ (game) got 160, clearly even if everyone looking for headquarters typed "HQ" it wouldn't be primary by usage and its likely most readers won't search by abbreviation. Headquarters might be primary by long-term significance but even that seems dubious given the likes of high quality. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:21, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I am, quite frankly, gobsmacked that anyone would hear or see HQ and not immediately think of Headquarters! In any case, it is the very, very clear winner in long-term notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:24, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I agree headquarters is primary by long-term significance but at the same time the game is probably by usage. It seems the best compromise to have no primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 06:58, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I completely disagree that the game is primary by usage. It's simply that most people known what a headquarters is and that HQ stands for it so don't need to look it up. That doesn't make the game the primary topic or Headquarters less of a primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:48, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per WP:AINTBROKE. While I agree that HQ usually means headquarters, I see no need for a primary redirect. If you are typing in "HQ" instead of "headquarters" you may be looking for something else._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:00, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The readers are far better served as it is, and that should be the acid test. Andrewa (talk) 22:51, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because there are other names that abbreviate as HQ which in opinion also refers to "High Quality". The dab page should be stay as this. 36.65.35.154 (talk) 05:30, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
