Title (vs. Mars crater)

The Mars crater is 3.1 times the D (& thus abt 9.4 times the area), on a body that has abt 4 times the area: 2.3 times the share of the respective bodies' surface areas.
But at 250 times the distance from astronomers, its apparent diameter is 1.2% of the lunar one, reducing the detail that can be see accordingly, and the number who can personally view it still more drastically; i think this factor is more pertinent to its WP significance.
Thus i would move the accompanying article to Lambert (crater) (in place of the existing Dab) and give it a HatNote Dab directing to the single pertinent line in the table at List of craters on Mars, which is especially desirable since the practice of using a suffixed title on a Dab page (viz., Lambert (crater)) can lead to that Dab being turned into a Rdr to a larger Dab (viz., Lambert).
