Requested move 12 February 2015

[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. While redirects can be primary topics, the evidence presented here and the consensus of participants indicate that the band is the primary topic. Cúchullain t/c 13:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Trapped Under Ice (band)Trapped Under Ice – Currently redirects to a Metallica album featuring a song of the same name. This article is more important than the redirect; a hatnote can be added to it instead. --MASHAUNIX 18:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – need to see page view statistics here, because I strongly suspect that the Metallica song is the PRIMARYTOPIC which means this proposed move may be a bad idea. --IJBall (talk) 20:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can a redirect really be a primary topic? If the song had its own page, then by all means. But in this case, a hatnote to the album will do just as well as a redirect would. As for wikilinks, 7 articles link to the song whereas 9 articles link to the band.--MASHAUNIX 21:14, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Make that 6 and 10, one of the links to the song was meant for the band.--MASHAUNIX 21:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Can a redirect really be a primary topic?" - Good question. I associate the topic title with the Metallica song. I think if you did a straw poll to music fans, most would also associate it with Metallica first. Looking at the article for the band, to me it doesn't meet the notability of a band. WP:BAND #5 states "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels". This band has released only two albums, on a label that doesn't (yet) have its own article, hence not meeting this requirement. The current article shows the band existed, but doesn't really offer any WP:GNG. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:28, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In that case propose deletion. As to which is a primary topic right now, I think the pageviews linked below speak clearly.--MASHAUNIX 10:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Pageviews on their own aren't enough to justify a move. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks for the info.--MASHAUNIX 08:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
