Tarkovsky → Tarkovsky (surname) – so that Tarkovsky can redirect to Andrei Tarkovsky, who is the clear primary topic, and the one most likely to be referred to as simply "Tarkovsky" - as evidenced by the fact that this was created and stood as a redirect to Andrei for 4 years until it was expanded into a surname page. The surname page should continue to exist, but "Tarkovsky" should point to Andrei per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 18:11, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Everything that comes up on DuckDuckGo is about the director. It's not a surname page, though. It should be Tarkovsky (disambiguation). Gulangyu (talk) 04:46, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Film director appears to be primary topic. PamD 09:16, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Andrei Tarkovsky receives almost 50 times more page views than Tarkovsky [1]. Worth noting it is a surname article and its title should be the one proposed by Taylor Trescott per WP:APOAT. There's only one non-name entry and it's the asteroid, which can be linked in a hatnote. Uanfala (talk) 10:14, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
