Van Duren (musician) → Van Duren
Van Duren → Van Duren (surname)

– There is no other page that should be called "Van Duren" alone. The other entries are for the surname "van Duren", but as far as I can tell, "Van" is this musician's first name, and "Duren" is his surname.

This doesn't explain why we should try to hide the ambiguity. People with a surname are habitually searched for using the said surname. The clickstream archive for the last three months doesn't show enough traffic to tell us where most readers are going, but mass views shows that the musician is not the most common topic of interest in general, not by a long shot.

Oppose as proposed per Joy. Instead create a disambiguation page at the base name, and move the surname; the new disambiguation page should include dabmentions for Vanduren and seealso for Van Vuuren and Duren and Van (given name) -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 02:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there's any reason to move anything, because it's a list of only 4 entries + 1 hatnote. There's no reason to believe that adding more clicks to the reader navigation will make it better. --Joy (talk) 08:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the surname has 90 views compared with only 50[[1]] for the musician. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
