Karadžić → Karadžić (surname) – The overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of this surname is without doubt Radovan Karadžić. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  15:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: The pageviews for Radovan Karadzic are more than twice the rest of these articles put together. The NGRAMS result for English-language sources shows a dramatic spike during Radovan Karadzic's main activity Primary redirect from surnames is used in other cases, such as Heydrich -> Reinhard Heydrich, with others listed at Heydrich (surname).

Ahem, I don't actually think this is a correct interpretation of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. For one, it's easy to claim that Vuk Karadžić probably has more long-term significance than the politician. Likewise, some of us generally prefer to have surname articles instead of short-circuiting navigation where people aren't actually mononymously known under the surname. In general, with just a single person chiming in in a week's time, I think a more appropriate solution would have been to relist it to gather a clearer consensus. I'm now going to revert this, and see if anyone notices. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Obviously if nobody notices in another week or a month, anyone should feel free to move it either way, but further discussions should be accompanied with asking around for more input. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 19:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
