Catherine HayesCatherine Hayes (murderer) – Please move per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC: both Catherine Hayes (murderer) and Catherine Hayes (soprano) were about equally (in)famous in the nineteenth century, and both are about equally obscure today. Still, both turn up reasonable Google traffic: "Catherine Hayes singer" gets 3,930,000 hits; "Catherine Hayes murderer" gets 1,320,000 hits. Other search terms (e.g, opera or soprano with the singer, or "murderess" instead of murderer for the killer) put one or the other Catherine into the Google lead. But they seem approximately equally well-known on that measure.

Further, before I created the article on the soprano today, multiple articles mentioning the soprano erroneously linked to the article on the murderer. If both titles were parenthetical--and if the bare "Catherine Hayes" title redirected to the DAB page, which I'd like to request as soon as this page can be moved--then that sort of grievous error would be less likely to occur, not least because editors who accidentally link to a DAB page automatically get notes on their talk pages.
