Requested move 15 January 2024

[edit]
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: moved. Consensus that the Marvel Comics character is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this name. The topic of how to rename the existing PRIMARYREDIRECT was not raised in the discussion, so I'm making the call to WP:BOLDly move it to Sugar Man (Marvel Comics).

Sugar Man (disambiguation)Sugar ManSugar Man is currently a primary redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: S#Sugar Man, which I don't believe is a justified primary topic. Move dabpage to base name. 162 etc. (talk) 06:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So if there was a properly placed hatnote, I'd say that it looks like the default position of short-circuiting to the comics character works well in lower-traffic months as some 75% of readers don't click the hatnote, but when there's more interest people are looking for something else. But then I realized that the hatnote is on top of the list article, while the redirect has pointed to a section throughout this period. So we would need to fix that (done now), and this could well explain why readers weren't finding the hatnote link, because they had to do the unintuitive scroll all the way back to the top. --Joy (talk) 12:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
