KLF (disambiguation) → KLF – KLF is currently a primary redirect to The KLF. While that article receives the majority of the pageviews[1], I'd argue that the long-term notabilty of the Khalistan Liberation Force is such that we have a WP:NOPRIMARY situation. 162 etc. (talk) 22:56, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. There are nine entries listed upon the KLF (disambiguation) page and those who are researching the band will find the link to it at the top of the list. The band's entry can be, of course, also accessed directly by simply typing "The KLF" or even "klf". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:21, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If moved and the band is no longer primary then we would need to move the band to The KLF (band), as the Khalistan Liberation Force is also "the KLF". -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to this, although it should probably be its own discussion. Note that this will affect Category:The KLF, as well as related subcategories. 162 etc. (talk) 17:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this would need a separate discussion. The band could be the primary topic for "The KLF" without being the primary for "KLF". BegbertBiggs (talk) 12:29, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That really wouldn't make any sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with BegbertBiggs, the British monarchy is primary for The Crown but not Crown. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Completely different situation, since both of these could be commonly referred to as the KLF. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Except one is fairly well-known across the English-speaking world and the other is virtually unknown by anyone outside of India. older ≠ wiser 14:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which is surely an argument for KLF to remain a primary redirect to the band, is it not? -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, although the name of the band is "The KLF" not "KLF". For example, there is also The Proletariat / Proletariat and A Perfect Circle / Perfect Circle and The Residents / Residents. older ≠ wiser 17:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
