Hipkiss[edit]

I wouldn't have lost any sleep over, it but this is not strictly true. Were you to type Chris Hipkiss into the search box, having misheard/misread the NZ prime minister's name, it would take you to the article Hipkiss (artist), so the hatnote is plausible.

Plauible doesn't seem like the appropriate criteria, or they would be on every article. Per WP:HATCONFUSE the standard seems to be "These hatnotes should only be used when the ambiguity exists for a significant portion of the readership.". I also would not lose any sleep over this one, but I thought it was a trivial and pointless one. I've raised it at talk:Chris Hipkins if you want to have your say.

Perhaps it is appropriate to retain the hatnote on the Chris Hipkiss page, but remove it on the Chris Hipkins page, per your rationale then. I don't think there's any reason it needs to be on both. BedazzledPanda (talk) 22:24, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
