Rachel Martin (broadcast journalist) → Rachel Martin – This article is clearly primary for the title "Rachel Martin". Over the last 90 days, it has received around 20 times the page views of "Rachel Martin (performance artist)", which until yesterday was at the undisambiguated title. All but one of the incoming links to that title from other articles in fact referred to the journalist, and not the performance artist, so it's likely that most of the page views for the title were by people looking for the journalist as well.

I thought this would be an uncontroversial page move, and so initiated the process by moving the other article, but was unable to complete the swap for technical reasons—the redirect from "Rachel Martin" to "Rachel Martin (performance artist)" being in the way. So I listed this article under "uncontroversial technical requests", only to have user:162 etc. move it to "controversial technical requests", with the reason being "[p]rimary topic grabs are, by definition, not uncontroversial." No further explanation was provided, and no reason for objecting to the page move followed there, or on the talk pages of any of the articles.

If anyone else can think of a reason why this article shouldn't be moved, this would be a good time to say so. P Aculeius (talk) 05:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
