Wylye, Wiltshire → Wylye – For the same reason as Evenlode, see Talk:Evenlode#Requested move 21 July 2018, a hatnote can be added per WP:2DABS. If not then it should be moved to Wylye (village). Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:53, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose target is a dab page and the name of the village derives from the River, which is more notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:59, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A DAB with only 2 entries that can easily use a hatnote. And rivers are generally "River Foo" not just "Foo" in the UK. If not the village needs to be moved to Wylye (village) as the river is also in Wiltshire. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Wylye seems unambiguous. Anyone coming here when looking for the river will see it linked in the first sentence. --Wire723 (talk) 08:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support According to the Google test limiting the search to en.wp and launched in an objective incognito window, the primary topic for "wylye" is the village. The page view counts suggest a wash on the primary topic question, but with only two uses with this name, I think satisfying half the users immediately and still landing the other half within one click of their sought destination (in this case the river linked repeatedly from the village article), putting the village at the basename serves the users best in this case. --В²C ☎ 06:29, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
