Article 50 → Article 50 (political party) – The primary topic for Article 50 is Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, about Withdrawal from the European Union. As a result, I believe that this article about a minor, defunct political party should be moved, and Article 50 become a redirect to Withdrawal from the European Union. People searching for Article 50 are almost all going to be looking for Withdrawal from the European Union, especially given its prominence in the media. If (political party) is considered the wrong dismabiguator, I'd accept another sensible disambiguator. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:07, 24 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. I doubt that the unambiguous primary topic for "Article 50" is the section of the Lisbon Treaty, but this political party isn't it either. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 23:52, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per primary topic and WP:ASTONISH. I was expecting to find an article about the withdrawl process, rather than a minor political party.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:38, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * neutral possibly a disambiguation page with a Article 50 (Lisbon treaty) or something explaining the process.Lihaas (talk) 11:21, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, Withdrawal from the European Union is almost entirely about Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, so we don't need a new article about it. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:14, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Support This page received an average of 9 daily page views from March 1 through June 23, but spiked 10,928 on June 24 (with gradually rising views over the last couple of weeks) (see here). While I doubt that the spike will persist at such a high level for the 7 days that this move request is open, it's pretty clear that the Brexit is causing this spike, and I fully expect that interest in Article 50 as related to Britain's withdrawal will easily surpass the 9 page views the political party was getting in coming months/years. The political party (which is named after the treaty article) is not the primary topic. Plantdrew (talk) 06:42, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The clause of the Lisbon Treaty is far more likely to be the target of readers than a defunct, fringe political party which took it's name from the Lisbon treaty clause.  TDL (talk) 16:25, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
