Requested move 11 December 2020

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: not moved. Proposal seems to mean WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT rather than WP:COMMONNAME, but no indication that this topic is primary for the title "C64". -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

C64 → C64 (disambiguation) – Per common name, C64 should redirect to Commodore 64 while other uses should be listed at "C64 (disambiguation)", currently I can't move the page since it redirects to it. PyroFloe (talk) 17:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

• This is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC question, what is the basis for your position that Commodore 64 is the primary topic for C64? Iffy★Chat -- 18:18, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose Not the obvious primary topic._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:00, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose Not obvouos primany topic. The Console is maily known as a Commodore 64 not C64. --Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 11:02, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support. When I were a lad and the C64 was big news it was very, very commonly known as the C64. I don't think any of the others come close. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

C64 → C64 (disambiguation) – After my previous failed attempt of moving this disambiguation page, I have collected potential evidences for a possible WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT reasoning move of C64 into what I think is the primary topic, Commodore 64.

First of all, with Google Ngram we can see that it hit its peak in the 1980s, in which the Commodore 64 is the main topic back then than the other "C64" pages. The possible jump in the 1960s is possibly the aircraft as it was discontinued back in 1959, although we can see that with a search, the computer is more notable. Link: [1].

Second, Google trends. [2]

Lastly, analysing pageviews. Commodore 64 is clearly the main topic as it is the top viewed article among the bunch. In comparison, the 2nd/3rd one, the aircraft model Noorduyn Norseman/C-64 Norseman has only a combined ~5,700 views compared to the Commodore 64's ~30,000 page views [3]

The other two articles that are listed in the disambiguation only mentions it briefly. In the Ruy Lopez article for example, the opening chess move named "C64" is only mentioned once (although the opening is notable, the term "C64" only has one mention in the article). The article Renal cell carcinoma meanwhile, doesn't even mention it's code "C64" in the article itself. Please let me know what you think. PyroFloe (talk) 16:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• There certainly appears to be a strong case for a primary topic with respect to usage. The dab page was visited 330 times in November [4], and in 273 cases (or 83% of all), the readers clicked through to Commodore 64 (according to the clickstream dataset). The next most popular article was the C64 Norseman, with 17 clicks. – Uanfala (talk) 21:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

• Support. Not sure what happened in the previous RM, but this really is a primary redirect to Commodore 64. The Michigan highway doesn't have an article at all and is just an entry on a list; the field gun has a tiny stub article; the aircraft is unlikely to be referred to as just C64 unadorned (and if so, it'd be as C-64, not C64).

• Support per nominator. The Commodore 64 is clearly the primary topic. JIP | Talk 00:50, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
• Support Per nom. I voted oppose in the last RM, which was laid out pretty unconvincingly, but the actual statistics have convinced me that Commodore 64 is primary._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
