Dan Daly (comedian) → Dan Daly – Sole Wikipedia entry that bears this exact main title header. Dan Daly currently redirects to military hero from over a hundred years ago, Daniel Daly, who was awarded two Medals of Honor, but a hatnote atop the comedian's entry — For the Medal of Honor recipient, see Daniel Daly — should suffice for those who may be researching him under the name "Dan". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:11, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Inclined to oppose. The soldier appears to be the primary topic for both search terms (note, for example, that The New York Times refers to him as "Dan Daly" in the cited sources), and in addition, seems to have more of a claim to being the primary topic by both significance and pageviews (about 90x more over the last month).

Weak oppose, soldier seems PRIMARY.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:56, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per Dekimasu. Sole Wikipedia entry that bears this exact main title header is irrelevant, per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT: The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary. In general the soldier gets 70x as many pageviews as the comedian [1], and the soldier has entire books written about him under the name "Dan" [2] whereas the comedian has no books written about him at all. Thus it seems far more likely that someone who types "Dan Daly" into the search bar is looking for the soldier than the comedian. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 09:56, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
